Rumors Of Triple H Interested In Giving Samoa Joe a WWE NXT Tryout
There are rumors that Triple H has interest in giving Samoa Joe a WWE tryout for a potential run in NXT.
According to the report, Vince McMahon isn’t as interested in Joe as Triple H but there could be a push within WWE over the next few weeks to give Joe at least a tryout run.
There is no word yet if Joe is even interested in coming to WWE and working NXT.

Samoa Joe Leaving TNA
Samoa Joe announced on Twitter that he is leaving TNA Impact Wrestling.
PWInsider reports that Joe and TNA negotiated and tried to come to terms for a new deal up until the end and things remained friendly between Joe and the company. The situation was described as similar to the one that led to AJ Styles leaving TNA in 2013, where TNA was not going to be able to match what Joe had been making. TNA made a final offer and left things up to Joe.
TNA made it clear to Joe that the door would be open for a future return.
A lessor factor had to do with Joe’s departure is that TNA is looking to invest more in newer talents coming in.

Drew McIntyre makes TNA debut
Earlier today I posted a huge spoiler of the hardcore country knockout making her return at Impacts tapings in Glasgow Scotland this evening. However that wasn’t the only treat the UK fans got tonight.
I usually hate posting spoilers but this one is too good NOT to share.
Hometown hero and Scotland Native Drew McIntyre aka Drew Galloway made his IMPACT debut. Drew came out to prevent a beat down on fellow native Grado (from British bootcamp) given by MVP and his crew.
This episode of impact will air February 20th. Drew is a former WWE superstar and IC champ but truthfully Drew never got the proper treatment he so richly deserves. It’ll be interesting to see what IMPACT does for him. There’s not a doubt in my mind that in IMPACT he’ll be able to showcase his true talent and one day become a world champion.
So guys are you excited that “the chosen one” is now a member of the IMPACT roster? Let us know in the comments.

Mickie James returns to Impact wrestling
It is being reported that Mickie James made a surprise return at today’s impact wrestling event in Glasgow UK.
Mickie James and Impact wrestler Magnus welcomed a healthy baby boy named Donovan Patrick Aldis into their world in September of last year. Lots of fans were unsure if they’d ever see her wrestle again.
Looks like she’s ready to return though and one has to ask what kind of IMPACT will her presence have in the knockouts division? Only time will tell.
Are you excited for Mickie’s return? Let us know in the comments.
