WWE released Samoa Joe back in 2020. However, Triple H contacted the Samoan Submission Machine and asked if he could join NXT again, to which Joe said yes.

Eventually, everything looked great for the wrestler as he dethroned Karrion Kross for the NXT title. However, another injury forced him to vacate the title and put him out of action before getting fired.

WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg also took to Twitter to express his feelings. However, one more thing to note here is that he lost his Twitter verification since his release.

“I just want to thank all the individuals from @WWENXT especially the young talent. The relationships we’ve built will last forever! #THANKYOU”

One thing worth noticing here is all these released stars were close to Triple H. Looks like Vince McMahon wants to completely revamp the whole system and keep the guys he trusts.
