- As you likely know by now, Samoa Joe made his debut at the end of NXT Takeover: Unstoppable, staring down Kevin Owens after Owens retained his NXT Title. PWInsider reports that Joe was brought in backstage “just a minute or two” before he came out.

The word is that Joe will work dates with NXT and still be able to work independently, similar to the deals Rhyno and Brian Kendrick have. There were several people in TNA who were reportedly concerned that Joe would debut tonight.
