Wade Keller reported on PWTorch.com that Joe has signed a full-time contract with WWE that will eventually see him called up to the main roster. Joe will reportedly fulfill his remaining independent dates before completely transitioning as a WWE Superstar.

According to the report, Joe’s deal is due to his impressive merchandise sales.

The last we heard — and reported here on WrestlingNewsWorld.com Premium — it is not believed Joe will be able to work Ring of Honor’s television taping because of the deal on Destination America.

Joe told WWE.com he would love a trip up to the main WWE roster and his goal was the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
