– Samoa Joe’s deal to work NXT events is said to be a “unique” one. The deal is a non-exclusive one, very similar to that of Rhyno, and it has very few restrictions. Word is that others could be brought in on the same sort of deal. Joe’s deal included a Samoa Joe T-Shirt (which sold out of its initial stock immediately) as well as the ability to keep his name since he is not competing on the main roster. The contract is for a limited number of NXT dates, and he can continue to take independent dates. The deal allows him to work pretty much anywhere he wants. The deal is considered unique because he is coming in, with his independent persona and getting pushed while still work gin elsewhere.

Joe isn’t committing to anything fulltime, due to the fact that WWE could decide to sign him for a full time deal. Joe was originally looking for an ROH return in September, but is currently schedule for the June 20th TV tapings. He has also had talks with the people from New Japan Pro Wrestling.
