In a surprising move, WWE released former US Champion Samoa Joe during the post-WrestleMania roster cuts. Even though the Samoan Submission Machine wasn't an active wrestler, he still was an integral part of the RAW announcing team.

Out of all the released stars this year, Samoa Joe is the only one who is already back in WWE and is now working under the NXT banner. Joe returned as William Regal's special enforcer on NXT and is still involved in a non-wrestling capacity.

Speaking to Ryan Satin on his podcast, Joe revealed that Triple H contacted him for a return to NXT just hours after he was released from WWE.

“That’s really all there is to it when it comes to life in general. It’s kind of the mantra I’ve kept, so at that point I think I was kind of in the works and setting up the framework for whatever else I was gonna do. A few hours later, I get a call from Hunter [Triple H] and it pretty much all kind of changed.” said Joe

Do you think Triple H should allow Samoa Joe to become an active wrestler on NXT?
