WWE NXT star Samoa Joe wants to face AJ Styles in NXT, and the former WWE Champion has expressed his desire to have a stint in the black-and-gold brand.
While speaking to SportsMattersTV ahead of his match against Karrion Kross, Samoa Joe discussed the possibility of facing AJ Styles in NXT. The former NXT Champion stated that Styles wants a run in NXT at some point in the future.
"He’s [AJ Styles] walking around with that big meal ticket he’s got with him right now, I don’t know," said Joe. "He might not be too keen to get in a real fight these days. You know, I need to find me an Omos, man. He’s got a really good gig going on. I’m a little jealous to be honest. He’s figured out something great but you know, absolutely [I would like to wrestle Styles in NXT]."
"I think the never-ending war between me and AJ will always continue," Joe continued. "And he’s always expressed to people that he’d love to do a little stint in NXT, come over and have some fun so, like I said, in this chaotic world, no one knows what the future holds." (H/T Post Wrestling).
Samoa Joe has regained his status as an impact player on the black-and gold brand. He will face Karrion Kross for the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver 36 this Sunday.
