Former WWE Superstar Samoa Joe made a shock return to ROH this weekend and is now signed to All Elite Wrestling.
Speaking at the ROH Supercard of Honor post-show media scrum, Joe explained how he knew that the “writing was on the wall” for his time in WWE.
“My going back to WWE was majorly because of the people I worked with and relationships I built in the company, mainly two people in Triple H and William Regal,’ Joe began.

“As Triple H, dealing with his situation which I obviously knew about and was way more concerned about than my employment, Regal and his departure, I knew the writing was on the wall for me” Joe continued.
“Which is fine, we were a big collective team and a big collective think tank within the company and we went a different way.
“As far as the release, it’s an up and down process for a lot of people, for me, it’s freed me up to pursue a lot of projects that I’ve wanted to work on” the former WWE Superstar revealed.
“It freed me up to start talking with Tony and the future with what he wanted to do and I was very surprised that it matched up” Samoa Joe concluded.
