WWE Rumor Roundup: Vince McMahon has no control over a Superstar, 5-time World Champion to retire sooner than later - 9th October 2019

#5 The reason why Samoa Joe is out of action

The last time we saw Samoa Joe on TV was during the King of the Ring tournament. The Samoan Submission Machine was involved in a Triple Threat match in the semi-finals of the tournament on September 9th.

The former NXT Champion has since been sidelined due to a thumb injury, as revealed by PWInsider.

Joe broke his thumb sometime back and the injury has forced him out of action. While the recovery time for serious thumb injuries is pegged at three months, we're still not sure about the severity of Joe's injury and return date.

Samoa Joe is currently waiting for a clearance from the WWE doctors and should be back on WWE programming soon. We could even see the popular Superstar make his comeback during the WWE Draft.

#6 Big update on Edge's return

We just can't keep Edge out of our roundup these days as everyone's talking about the Rated-R Superstar's in-ring return.

The latest update on the same, as per PWInsider, is that the 11-time WWE Champion was spotted in Pittsburg, Pensylvania. The reason why this new detail has the fans all excited is that Pittsburg is where Dr. Joseph Marron operates, who if you didn't know. is WWE's head doctor.

The speculation is running rife that Edge was there regarding the clearance required to wrestle again.

Edge recently quit the Edge and Christain podcast to reportedly get back into the ring. While he put out a tweet squashing the rumors of the comeback, many believe that it was just a diversion to understate what's actually happening behind the scenes.

WWE is known to keep such returns a secret and with Edge actively pursuing an in-ring return, the coming few months are set to have a few big surprises.
