Samoa Joe Reportedly Signs Full-Time Contract With WWE

PWTorch.com is reporting that Samoa Joe has apparently signed a full-time contract with WWE.

The deal was reportedly reached following Joe impressing WWE official at the recent set of NXT television tapings, as well as merchandise sales from his first T-shirt being described as "off the charts." Both of these aspects apparently led both Vince McMahon and Triple H to convince Joe to sign the deal.

The deal includes Joe being able to fulfill all of his previously scheduled independent dates followed by working a full-time schedule with WWE. It is believed Joe will spend some time in NXT before moving up to the main roster.
