#2. MVP provides an update on Samoa Joe's WWE in-ring return

Samoa Joe has been out of in-ring action since February. Thankfully for the WWE, the former United States Champion has been a revelation in the commentary booth.

WWE has been teasing Joe's in-ring return over the past few weeks due to his involvement in the feud between Dominik Mysterio and Seth Rollins.

However, Joe is still not medically cleared to wrestle as of this writing, but that could change soon.

During a recent interview with Newsweek, MVP was asked about the talents he would like to work with from the WWE.

MVP named Aleister Black and said that he was impressed by the former NXT Champion's talents.

The Hurt Business leader then revealed that Samoa Joe is going to be back in action soon, and he would love to face the former TNA star in the WWE ring.

"There's always someone. I was talking recently with Aleister Black and his talent has impressed me. He's a guy that impresses me in the ring and out of the ring and in the locker room. He's got that old-school mentality emerging as a locker room leader in his own right and he's gifted.

What I understand, ole Samoa Joe is gonna be back in action and over the years Samoa Joe and I have been great friends, but we've never ever faced each other. At this stage of my career, I think I feel a lot more confident facing him, knowing that I got Bobby and Shelton backing me up—but I also know that wouldn't phase Joe in the least. There's a number of guys that are coming along and that I'm looking forward to having an opportunity to work with in some capacity."
