Bengaluru, June 15: WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House 2021 went off the air on an interesting note as the NXT General Manager William Regal mentioned that a change is imminent on the brand.
Regal may have probably hinted at stepping down from his position as the WWE Universe is expecting someone new to replace him starting from this week’s NXT.
It seems like, the new man-in-charge for the NXT roster has already been revealed via recent reports. Fightful Select previously hinted that WWE Officials want to bring back Samoa Joe to NXT in some capacity (Joe was among those wrestlers who were released by the WWE back in mid-April due to budget cuts).
Now, According to the Wrestling Observer, Samoa Joe is set to receive a Regal-like role in NXT. Perhaps, the former NXT Champion will be put into the GM position on Wednesday nights or will work under Regal as a new on-screen official.
This new role also indicates the fact that Joe isn't still cleared for in-ring action, as Fightful’s report stated that WWE Officials wanted him to be a wrestler on NXT.
