The Samoan Submission machine is once again requiring maintenance. Samoa Joe was recently taken out of action when he injured his foot during a squash match on Raw which couldn’t have happened at a worse time.
Now it looks like Samoa Joe is going to miss the Royal Rumble, but only time will tell if he can get back in the ring to jump on The Road To WrestleMania.
Samoa Joe was recently on Booker T’s Heated Conversations podcast where he provided an update on his current injury. He might have come to WWE with a lot of wear and tear already on his body, but he’s doing everything he can to get back in the ring as soon as possible.
“Anytime you miss one of the “Big 4″ shows or, really, just shows, in general, it’s always sad to say. A younger version of me would definitely be stressing out and probably making this situation a lot worse. For me right now, I know what I need to do to get back and be healthy. I understand the timetable and what I need to do to exceed that timetable. I was more accepting of the process because I realize it’s unavoidable. Now it’s just about concentrating just getting back and being healthy.”
“As of right now, it’s kind of a week to week thing. With these injuries sometimes these things can heal earlier and sometimes later. They are going to do a little bit of an ultrasound every week. They’re going to be giving me treatments. It’s not something the requires surgery. It’s basically a lot of time, rest, elevation and letting it heal. It just depends on how quickly it’s going to heal. Hopefully, it will be sooner than later. Obviously, we’re going to be past the Rumble but I don’t know how much further past that.”
