Samoa Joe is back in NXT after being fired by WWE in April and is working as the enforcer for NXT GM William Regal since he’s not medically cleared to wrestle.
Joe did an interview with Sports Illustrated to talk about a wide range of topics. Here are the highlights:
Wanting to wrestle again:
“It means the world to me that people honor my legacy and have good memories about matches I’ve been in,” Joe says. “That really means a lot. But I’ve always been focused on what I can do next. I don’t want to dwell on accolades. I didn’t build my career off fond memories. I do what I do and give the fans something to look forward to.”
Feeling like NXT is his home:
“I have to admit, I’ve spent a bit of time in the confines of NXT, and it does feel like home,” Joe says. “Unfortunately, I do have a horrible habit of wrecking the house.”
