There will be blood. Despite the safeguards and precautions you may take, it is an inevitability. Most of you will freely shed it to protect those you love the most in dire circumstances.

Samoa Joe is expected to make a return near the end of October after sustaining an injury. His return will be his first television appearance since post-SummerSlam's Raw as reported by Wrestling Observer.

He could return at Raw's (TLC) Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view. Joe could aim for the Universal Championship after returning from his injury.

Author's take

Samoa Joe is a veteran in the wrestling business, having worked all across the world and seen various injuries in his storied career.

He knows about bleeding and injuries better than half of the current WWE roster. By this post, it looks like he is not scared of blood and will continue to dominate for years to come.
