Samoa Joe Removed From All WWE Live Events Until After WrestleMania

Samoa Joe being removed from upcoming live events may not be as bad as many would think.

Per Wrestling Inc, the "Samoan Submission Machine", Samoa Joe, has been removed from all WWE Live events until after WrestleMania. For those who do not remember, Joe suffered a right foot injury during his match with Rhyno, on the January 8th edition of Monday Night RAW.

Once a few of the details regarding the injury Joe suffered were released, it was clear that he would not be able to compete in the 2018 men's 'Royal Rumble' match. Although Joe has been removed from live events until after WrestleMania 34, it may be a sign that the former two-time NXT Champion could be making a return sooner than expected and WWE wants to keep his schedule light until Mania' rolls around.

Following his injury, Joe joined Booker T on his "Heated Conversations" podcast and Joe knew that the 'Royal Rumble' match was out the question in regards to a return time, but he labeled it as a "week-to-week" thing.

Hopefully, Joe will be ready to go for WrestleMania, so he can have his first moment on the "Grandest Stage Of Them All".
