#5. Hope isn't true: WWE forced to spoil Samoa Joe's return from injury

Samoa Joe had reportedly suffered a concussion that was supposed to keep him out for a while, but he returned to TV this past week - way quicker than people had anticipated.

Tom Colohue revealed that the rumors had spread about Joe's concussion and WWE and Joe prematurely decided to return ahead of schedule and announce it to clear up the rumors:

And unfortunately to my knowledge, Samoa Joe was also aware of that rumor and wanted to get back in action. Someone like Samoa Joe, who just loves to be in the action, would then put them in a situation whereby Joe is trying to force himself back ahead of schedule to prove people wrong. From my knowledge, it was supposed to be a surprise that this week he returned, but they did have to announce it ahead of time to sort of clear up the rumor and say, ‘hey, it’s not a thing, stop spreading rumors.’

We hope this isn't true because Joe wasn't needed back so early. Moreover, it puts him at risk again.
