Why Samoa Joe Missed RAW After Survivor Series In Chicago

Samoa Joe makes a fine addition to the WWE RAW announce team. Vince McMahon must agree because the Samoan Submission Machine will be on the announce table until he is cleared to return.

We’ll have to see when Samoa Joe does come back to the ring. At this rate, his next medical evaluation isn’t until the end of this month. You never know if this could be a spot that Joe never leaves.

Samoa Joe wasn’t on the commentary table for the RAW following Survivor Series. This led some fans to wonder if he wasn’t coming back to the role, but obviously he did.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that Samoa Joe had to miss the November 25th episode of RAW because he was already booked to be on WWE Backstage. Since he was supposed to be in LA for WWE Backstage it made things really difficult to be in Chicago for RAW as well.

Samoa Joe will be back on the announce table next and every week to follow until further notice.
