The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that Samoa Joe is expected to be called up to the main roster soon and he may be in line for a “monster push.”

There are rumors that he may even appear as early as the Royal Rumble PPV as a surprise entrant.

His time in NXT appears to be winding down, with him losing a couple of title matches against Shinsuke Nakamura, and Bobby Roode now seemingly taking over as the “top heel,” beginning a feud with Nakamura.
