No word yet if Joe has signed with WWE, but it sure looks like we could be seeing Joe (perhaps using a new ring name) debut for NXT this summer.

The prospect of Joe feuding with the likes of Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, Hideo Itami and Sami Zayn is off the charts exciting, but we’ll contain ourselves until it becomes official.

Joe also met up with Jim Ross on Thursday to tape an episode of the “Ross Report” podcast, which drops on May 5th. Ross was also at the taping.
