Samoa Joe on Relinquishing NXT Title “Due To Certain Injuries”
“I popped for COVID,” said Joe. “You know, at the time, it was over the weekend. My wife was making stew and I couldn’t smell it. She said, ‘Wow, doesn’t that smell great?’ I went, ‘No’ and then I tested positive I think on Saturday and by then, Vince had really wanted to go in a different direction with NXT and he really wanted to have the new opening of NXT 2.0 kind of be with a bang and I agreed with him.
I said, ‘Listen, if that’s the case, then you know, this is probably what’s best for what your vision is for what you want for this product.”
