Samoa Joe is backstage at Raw tonight, according to PWInsider. No word on if he’ll actually appear on TV though.
Joe has been out of action since suffering a torn meniscus at a house show in August and also underwent nasal surgery to repair his breathing, which had been at only 60% due to breaking his nose several times in his career.
He was cleared to return earlier this month, so his return has been expected any day now.
