– As noted, Samoa Joe appeared on the WWE NXT “Takeover: Philadelphia” pre-show on Saturday night. Joe noted that he is healing strong and quickly but he was not ready to get back into the ring. Joe suffered a right foot injury during the January 8th RAW win over Rhyno and it looks like he will be out of action until at least mid-March.
