Backstage Plans to Bring Samoa Joe and Finn Balor to Main Roster

Big Backstage News on WWE Main Roster Plans for Samoa Joe, Finn Balor and Another Top NXT Star.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, plans are currently in place to bring Samoa Joe to the WWE main roster following WrestleMania, maybe even as early as the post-Mania episode of Raw.
There has also been talk in WWE of having Samoa Joe defeat Finn Balor for the NXT Title, and if that takes place then it’s likely Joe’s main roster debut will be delayed.
In addition to Joe, there has been a lot of consideration lately being given to the idea of bringing Sami Zayn up to the main roster to feud with Kevin Owens.
Regarding Finn Balor’s main roster status, it appears unlikely he will be called up after WrestleMania, as officials are still looking at him to be the face of the NXT brand past March.
 
Hideo Itami Injury Update: According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, NXT star Hideo Itami is seeing complications from shoulder surgery, and is nowhere near close to returning to action.
Itami has been sidelined since April of last year.
 
Update On Sheamus’s Injury Status: Sheamus’s unidentified injury that resulted in him wearing a cast is actually because he is suffering from tendinitis in his left arm.
Sheamus was put in a cast as a precautionary measure, and there is no timetable for his return to the ring. Sheamus will however remain on television, but will have limited physical interaction to protect the injury.
