NXT enforcer Samoa Joe joined Out of Character with Ryan Satin earlier this week to talk about his WWE career. Joe detailed joining NXT shortly after his run in TNA ended in 2015, revealing that he jumped at the chance to work for WWE due to it being the one place he had never really worked in his career.
“I had left TNA and I was kind of ready for something new,” Joe said. “I think at that point of my career, I would’ve been if it was a few more years and I would’ve transitioned to some other things I was working on at the time. But I said ‘you know what, why don’t you put out some feelers?’ I remember kind of sending messages through the grapevine through several different intermediaries, through Paul Heyman, through Joey Mercury at the time, through Road Dogg.
