Samoa Joe is one of the best in-ring performers in WWE and around the world. He is a former two time NXT Champion. Unfortunately, he is out of action due to concussion issues and it’s been a year that Joe didn’t compete in any match. Joe joins the commentary table and he is killing it. Now, Joe himself opens up about his in-ring return.
While speaking to Uproxx, Joe revealed that his concussion issue is quite a unique one, that’s the reason he is still taking a bit more time to back in the squared circle. He also mentioned that how WWE is taking good care of him.
“I think right now, we’ve learned a lot medically about concussions and recovery and we’re taking the safest and the best approach and I appreciate it. WWE medical, they’ve been great and understanding and wonderful. So I think at this time we’re just taking the best course of action and obviously some things have been delayed just because of the pandemic and medical availability and liability of being in places and traveling to get evaluations and stuff. So, I mean, there’s been some technical holdups as well as just a very careful approach to my return and recovery and I appreciate it. And I’m all aboard, you know? I would rather take this time and miss a large considerable amount of time than potentially this getting more serious. It took (WWE) a lot to talk me down. But after seeing medically, you know, what I’ve seen, I agree with them. And we’re just taking our time with it and trying to do right.”
“The understanding (of concussions) has evolved so much in 10 years. Even now, the protocol is constantly being tweaked with the newest information. Obviously this is an issue across many sports and many sports across the board are working together to find the best solution. There’s technology and science involved and because of that, hopefully we’re dealing with this situation better than we have in the past, but I am my own worst enemy in this aspect, where I just want to shake it off. I have people that depend on me and you see these other things that could happen. I had to realize that I have to start listening because I have to honor these responsibilities to people, both professionally, personally, everybody. It’s very, very difficult when you come from a state of always wanting to charge forward, wanting to go harder and fight through. And this series we’re doing now preaches those very qualities of understanding when it’s time to take care of yourself.”
Recently, Samoa Joe appeared on the WWE Network special WWE 24: Big E where was seen discussing with Big E about his career and goals. Fans are waiting to see Joe back in the ring and we can just hope that he will be back in action as soon as possible.
