5 Superstars who could show up at NXT TakeOver 31

#2 Samoa Joe returns to NXT to dominate once again

The Prince may face his greatest threat of his WWE career in a few weeks

The former two-time NXT Champion may be looking to follow in the footsteps of one of his greatest rivals in the Black and Gold brand, Finn Balor. After all, Samoa Joe was the man who took the NXT Title away from The Prince.

If Joe believes he can still put The Prince of NXT to sleep, what's stopping him from showing up at NXT TakeOver and laying out Balor? We haven't seen Samoa Joe on commentary in two weeks now, and there's been no mention of when he may return.

Maybe that's because he's not coming back to the commentary desk or even RAW for that matter.

Samoa Joe is a destroyer. As great as that roster is on NXT at the moment, The Samoan Submission Machine can give many Superstars a run for their money. His return would truly change the landscape of the brand as well.
