In an update on Samoa Joe appearing at the WWE NXT Takeover: Unstoppable live special on the WWE Network, Joe has indeed signed a deal with the company, which was put together by Triple H and was worked out when Joe visited the last set of TV tapings.

For those wondering, as of writing, Joe will continue to work his existing and future independent wrestling dates unless required to appear at an event by WWE NXT, who for the time being, get first priority until he is either pulled from those independent events as part of the deal or finishes up those events.

Joe has also come to terms with the WWE to market Samoa Joe merchandise, including the t-shirt he wore at WWE NXT Takeover: Unstoppable, which was on-sale as fans were leaving the arena and is currently on sale on WWEShop.com. The expectation is that Joe will be working Thursday night’s WWE NXT TV tapings.
