Samoa Joe Appears To Be Set To Return To NXT As William Regal’s Replacement

June 14, 2021

On last night’s WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House we appeared to have seen the last of William Regal as NXT General Manager, as he ominously stated that it was “time for a change.” And it now appears as though a familiar face might be coming in to replace him.

On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about last night’s NXT TakeOver: In You House, and William Regal’s comment implying that he would be stepping down as GM. Interestingly enough, he stated that he believes this is the company’s way of bringing back Samoa Joe after releasing him earlier this year.

He added that Joe had taken a backstage job with NXT, and that he will definitely be working behind the scenes regardless, whether he appears as the new General Manager tomorrow or not.

“So, I think that’s the cue for Samoa Joe. I don’t know that 100%. I was told today that Samoa Joe was gonna be in a Regal-like role, then all of a sudden Regal’s talking like he’s stepping down, so maybe the Regal-like role is Regal’s role. But if he’s leaving, based on what I was told, Samoa Joe was definitely the favorite to be the new Commissioner. But Joe is in, and he’s in as a non-wrestler, so I think that tells you that he’s not cleared.”

“He’s taken a job in NXT and he’s doing something there, and he may be the new authority figure on television, or he may not be. But he’s gonna be behind-the-scenes.”
