Big Star Scheduled For Royal Rumble Weekend

News, Top Story

 

Recently injured superstar and former Royal Rumble favorite Samoa Joe has been named as one of the members of the NXT: TakeOver Pre-Show panel along with Charly Caruso and Sam Roberts.

Joe was originally scheduled to compete in his first-ever Royal Rumble match this Sunday but injured his foot in a match on RAW with Rhyno. While it was revealed to be his right foot, confirmation of the extent of the injury or a timetable for his return has been mysteriously missing, leading some to believe he will be a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble match on Sunday.

The injury came at a very inopportune time for the Samoan Submission Machine as Joe was slated to be a part of the Mixed Match Challenge as well as possibly entering into a feud with John Cena, leading to a WrestleMania dream match.
