Samoa Joe Signs Full Time Deal With WWE

[StatUS]

Trusted insider sources tell PWTorch columnist Sean Radican that Samoa Joe has signed a full-time contract with WWE. His merchandise sales were so off-the-charts impressive, Vince McMahon and Triple H pushed to get him signed to a full-time deal right away.

Obviously, he impressed everyone at the latest NXT TV tapings. He will fulfill his scheduled independent dates, but otherwise will be worked into the WWE schedule full-time, either starting in NXT or shifting quickly to the WWE main roster.

One of the independent dates that Joe will be finishing up is with AIW, who just announced Joe for their "Absolution" show on July 10 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Vince must be seriously biting his tongue right now or maybe he really did go blind and Triple H has him convinced Joe looks like The Rock

If merch sales were indeed impressive enough to sign him full time, that also gives more weight to the rumors about the E suddenly being a whole lot more interested in AJ Styles.

Joe vs roman is such an easy feud to book would be perfect for both guys right now

Joe vs Lesnar has to happen

Streets need Joe/Lesnar and Joe/Rusev

If only Punk and Bryan were active

Been saying it forever. A motivated Joe is a bad sumbytch, plus he's one of the more entertaining Twitter follows wrestler wise. I'm happy for him

Vince feels like he might be able to afford that pure Columbiana once more.

NXT merch must be moving fast as hell if that played any role in getting him signed full time. Owens already got like 5 different shirts like he's NXT Cena which is hilarious since he has straight up copied Cena shirts before
