Samoa Joe Reveals What Triple H Told Him After He Was Released

WWE has released a number of talents this year, and the company got the wrestling world talking back in April when they released former United States Champion Samoa Joe.

Many people were shocked by Joe’s release, but it didn’t take long for him to return to WWE programming as he debuted as the on screen enforcer for NXT General Manager William Regal earlier this month.

During an appearance on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, Joe said he was relatively calm about his release, but when he sent a text to Triple H that’s when everything changed.

“Essentially [Triple H said he wanted Joe in NXT]. I sent some company farewell texts to people saying, ‘Hey, pleasure working with you.’ Some genuine people that I really, really enjoyed working with, and just some general, ‘Hey, thanks, I’m sure we’ll talk down the road at some point,’ or something like that.”

“I got a text back [from Triple H], ‘Hey, give me a minute, getting out of a meeting.’ We had a brief conversation, which was essentially like, ‘Give us a little bit of time. I’ll work out a package and we’ll talk soon.’ ‘Alright, that’s totally fine, I have no problem with that.’ And it led to my return to NXT.”
