All seriousness, I hope the deal goes through and Samoa Joe gets motivated to get in shape. You can see in Kevin Owens's face and arms that he is getting in better shape. I want to see Joe get in better shape too. I was a big fan of Joe from ROH and early TNA.

Joe will be fine in a motivated environment. NXT will do wonders for him. I can understand how TNA could kill your spirit and your nutrition plan.

I'd be a little surprised, both at him going to the WWE and going so quickly.
I imagined he'd want a little time to ease up (not that TNA is a white-hot machine of intensity right now...), get into better shape and take some indie bookings first.
When he left TNA I questioned what his motivation was. I suppose if he's in negotiations with WWE, that shows he still wants to push himself. You can't turn beat Father Time and the wear n tear of the years. But, if he could drop some weight and really wants to push himself...well, yeah, could see NXT very very easily and possibly the main roster too. Not long term, not at this stage, but he could get some time and some big matches done yet.

I don't know put him as the Rikishi to a tag teams Too Cool would not be a bad idea. They could have great matches with New Day. WWE has let the idea lose steam but they should still have a three man tag belt.

Joe is a great wrestler but honestly ROH is the best fit for him.
Likely he'll get a great ovation at full sail but as for his main roster spot, I can already see Kevin Dunn sitting at his little sewing table making Joe a wildman outfit while hummimg to himself "hmm hmmm Umaga 2 hmm hmm electric boogaloo hmmm I'm full of good ideas hmm hmm".

I love how Joe is too old yet is barely any older than Balor and Itami- who he is superior to in every way except running a marathon.
Joe is my dream signing for men - Blue Pants for women, naturally

Umaga 2 isn't such a bad idea seeing as how Umaga 1 was brutal and brilliant.

A Samoan-based gimmick would make sense. He doesn't have to play the savage role. It can be something similar to the Usos only less colourful and more serious.

Have him kill the Usos in a dominant but still heelish style (i.e. destroys them both single handedly, but only when interfering in a match and possibly with weapons). He can talk about them turning Samoan culture into a commodity and beat the shit out of both of them. If he can still work at all, even bring Rikishi back so Joe can beat the shit out of him as well.

Also, a line of Samoan urban warrior themed merchandise (tribal print t-shirts for example) would sell shitloads.

Have him talk about how not all Samoa is represented by the same family and how he wants to eradicate their lineage. Then he brings his knife from TNA out and cuts Reigns.

I'd love for Joe to come in and lay out The Usos and Rikishi the Raw after WRestlmania after they celebrated a weekend consisting of Rikishi's HOF induction and most likely Jimmy and Jay winning back the tag titles to piggy back off of the induction. I just like the idea of Joe of accusing the Anoa'1 family of putting on a Samoan minstrel show. "'Cause I'm here to tell you, the chickens is coming home to roost, y'all. The Samoan man's no longer gonna play the minstrel in the medium of Sports-Entertainment. We keepin' it real, and we gonna get respect by any means necessary."

It'd be nice if they could build him up in the main roster for some big dream matches people have had. I never really watched TNA so I only really know him by reputation. Sadly, that will probably be the level of recognition with many of the average fans as well unless WWE was willing to acknowledge his accomplishments in that other company they don't talk about.
Regardless, I'm hoping you all get the matches you'd like to see.

I'd love his debut angle being him taking out the Royal Samoan Family Line of the WWE. I'd start by having Rikishi doing something in a very special appearance. Suddenly Joe just murks his ass. The next week, he wrecks the Usos out of nowhere. Hell, bring back The Rock (tease another Cena match just to piss people off, not like Rock's sticking around) and have Joe destroy him, too. Who else we got? Bring the Superhero In Training Back, maybe Afa and Sika, the Barbarian, whats Samu up to? Hell, throw Meng in there and just pretend he's a distant cousin. I'd love to see Joe lay out Meng and The Barbarian, that'd be pretty badass. Finally, its Roman defending his WWE title against Rusev or heel Bryan or Ambrose or something. Joe comes out, kills both, throws whoever out of the ring, and then goes to work on Reigns. Reigns vs. Joe build up for the title at WrestleMania XXXII. {Spoiler}Roman wins
