It was previously reported that Samoa Joe has been pulled from the Royal Rumble PPV Event due to his injury. According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was originally believed that the right foot injury Samoa Joe suffered in his RAW win over Rhyno on January 8th would have him out for a few weeks but it looks like that he will be out much longer than that.
Aside from Samoa Joe being pulled from the Royal Rumble PPV, he has now been pulled from all WWE Live Events through at least mid-March. The March 16th WWE Live Event at Madison Square Garden was scheduled to feature Samoa Joe vs. John Cena vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion Roman Reigns but The Miz will now be filling in for Samoa Joe.
