# Samoa Joe Working Towards In-Ring Return

Speaking to Ryan Satin on the [Out of Character](https://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_162489063004213&key=5ef840cd8d8214611115d8a36d4f23a1&libId=kqgpocep01036gyw000DL615zv4d3&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fightful.com%2Fwrestling%2Fsamoa-joe-absolutely-working-towards-ring-return-now-working-wwe-scouting-department&v=1&out=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fid1559678933&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fightful.com%2F&title=Samoa%20Joe%20%27Absolutely%27%20Working%20Towards%20In-Ring%20Return%2C%20Now%20Working%20In%20WWE%20Scouting%20Department%20%7C%20Fightful%20News&txt=Ryan%20Satin%20on%20Out%20of%20Character) podcast, Samoa Joe revealed that he is “absolutely” working towards getting cleared for an in-ring return.

When he returned to WWE NXT earlier this month, reports suggested that Samoa Joe would be working in a non-wrestling capacity only. However, Joe has revealed that he will be trying to get cleared to return to the ring, saying:

> “Absolutely. We’ll just say yes and leave it at that.”

Samoa Joe has not wrestled since February 2020, with the former NXT Champion dealing with a concussion. While he wasn’t able to wrestle, Joe served as a commentator on Monday Night Raw.
