However, Samoa Joe's friend MVP revealed in an interview with Newsweek that he understands that Samoa Joe will be returning to action very soon.

"What I understand, ole Samoa Joe is gonna be back in action and over the years Samoa Joe and I have been great friends, but we've never ever faced each other. At this stage of my career, I think I feel a lot more confident facing him, knowing that I got Bobby and Shelton backing me up—but I also know that wouldn't phase Joe in the least."

Samoa Joe has been involved in scuffles with Seth Rollins and Murphy over the past few weeks although he has not been in any physical altercation. Joe is one of the best powerhouse performers on RAW and it would be epic to see him compete in RAW Underground.
