According to Reddit user Falcon Arrow, who has privately proved his credentials to the moderators of the Reddit website, Joe has signed a contract with WWE that is at least a two-year deal.
The user goes on to claim that WWE currently has plans on the books for Joe to make his official debut with the company at the end of the upcoming NXT Takeover: Unstoppable live WWE Network special, which takes place on Wednesday, May 20th.
