Rumors of a elbow injury are false. WWE has trainers who in turn have tape. It's a free resource I enjoy using preventively.

These rumors started circulating last weekend when the former TNA champion wrestled with a what was described as a 'heavily taped arm” by fans during a live event.

After several unsuccessful attempts at capturing the NXT title, Joe finally defeated the then champion Finn Balor on 21st April to become the new NXT Champion.

It's notable here that before coming to WWE Joe was one of the prominent stars of WWE's rival promotion TNA. During his TNA run, Joe won the X-division championship twice while also getting his hands on the World Championship once
