As noted, Samoa Joe defeated Tyson Kidd in a match that took place before Monday's WWE RAW in San Antonio. Multiple fans in attendance noted that Kidd may have suffered a neck or collarbone injury towards the end of the match. After the match, Natalya reportedly rushed to the back while Cesaro came into the ring to check on Kidd. The referee then threw up the dreaded "X" sign to call help out. Kidd was seen holding his neck area and looking visibly upset on his way to the back. It's possible Kidd was just selling Joe's Musclebuster but we will keep you updated.

We noted before that Samoa Joe has now signed a full-time deal with WWE but will still be fulfilling his indie dates that were booked. Ring of Honor has confirmed that Joe will still be working their June 20th TV tapings in New York City, in what appears to be Joe's final ROH appearance. Absolute Intense Wrestling in Cleveland has added Joe to their July 10th show, which was announced last night. Joe is currently booked for the big WWE NXT live events in Pittsburgh, PA and Columbus, OH this month. For those wondering, PWInsider reports that Joe is not currently booked for tonight's WWE SmackDown tapings so unless things change, he won't be the Superstar to answer NXT Champion Kevin Owens' open challenge.

Besides the success of Joe's t-shirt sales and his NXT performances, the fact that his appearances for Ring of Honor will now air on national cable TV also played into the decision to sign him to a full-time deal.

Joe's current NXT deal reportedly has a clause that would let WWE sign him to a full-time deal. WWE chose to execute that clause this past Thursday after ROH announced their deal with Destination America. Both Joe and WWE signed an addendum to the original deal, now making him a full-time WWE worker.

TNA offered Styles a great deal to come in, do the Hall of Fame, likely wrestle one match on Slammiversary and that that would be it. AJ, the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion, turned the deal down because his priorities right now are Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling.

It can be done but it's going to be quite the undertaking.
