So he'll be ending his career in the indies...

Could have been huge, but blew it. Well done Joe.

WWE wont get him and dont need him have Kevin Owens

Agree with grec, could of been huge but I feel tna are partially to blame.

A rumour going around is that Triple H is interested in Samoa Joe and wants to give him a run in NXT. However, Vince isn't interested and HHH wants to at least push to get Joe a trial.

I think that rumour is rubbish. CM Punk pushed for Joe for years, as did Foley. WWE don't need a broken down, mid thirties dude who made his career in TNA. He offers them nothing they don't already have.

Just something he's put out there to push his indie price up.

It was speculated for over a week now, but it appears that WWE has done what many thought they wouldnt do. TNA Wrestling star Samoa Joe recently left the organization and has picked up a lot of Independent dates. It is unknown if he has any sort of no-compete clause with WWE involved or not, but WWE is apparently not waiting to find out.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has offered Samoa Joe a WWE contract. Currently, few details exist about the deal. It is uncertain how much they are offering or the length of the contract. We also do not know if WWE would want him to work in WWE NXT or jump to the main roster. However, WWE Talent Relations head Triple H is a huge fan of Joes and has wanted him in WWE for some time.

The only issue he ran into was that Joe was always with TNA, so there was no way he could ever bring him in. WWE never truly gave an offer to former TNA stud AJ Styles, but that was due to Triple H not caring a ton about him. However, Samoa Joe is another case entirely. Many WWE Superstars love Joes work and feel he deserves to be with WWE.

Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley, and WWE NXT star Finn Balor have all expressed love for Samoa Joe online and have touted him up as being awesome. We all know Joe is a great talent who has a history of fantastic matches. The interesting thing is that WWE has never offered a contract to a 35-year-old man who hasnt been with WWE in the past outside of fluff matches.

Joe has worked with WWE in the past but only in enhancement matches. This was years ago as well, so they are far before he became the stud talent we know today.

Since Triple H is a fan, there was an assumption that WWE would send an offer Joes way. However, many speculated that they wouldnt do so because of Joes age and impact put on his body. However, it seems that Triple H wants to use up Joes final wrestling years in WWE where he feels Joe belongs.

Samoa Joe is currently signed on to work with Ring of Honor for a while, so we may not see Joe in WWE until after WrestleMania season is over anyway. Joe is getting a lot of offers from Independent companies across the world, so he is not hurting for work right now. It comes down to whether Joe would want to work with WWE as a final dream job or if he is happy working the Indy scene for the remainder of his career. Many think he has a lot of years left in the tank, and he would be an excellent addition to WWE. Triple H thinks so as well, but we will have to see if Joe takes this deal up or not.

Nxt i can see him and owens

According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, longtime TNA star Samoa Joe is heading to WWE. Meltzer is reporting that as of this writing Joe has not signed a WWE contract, but the negotiations they have had look as if Joe has come to an agreement with WWE.

Currently Joe is booked for several Ring of Honor dates up until the end of March and would have to wait to sign with WWE until those dates are complete.

so spring some time hell be there

It would be class if he turned up on Raw the night after Wrestlemania.

think hell be on nxt tbh

He was backstage at NXT on Thursday night.

Imagine if they let him go out in front of the Chicago crowd tonight. I'd book him to choke someone out just to see how over he could be in WWE. Even if he'll be on NXT it would be some great hype for the network
