UPDATED: Joe posted the following after the reports about his elbow got out:
Rumors of a elbow injury are false. WWE has trainers who in turn have tape. It's a free resource I enjoy using preventively.

ORIGINAL: Samoa Joe is working with a bad elbow injury, according to Dave Meltzer on Monday’s Wrestling Observer Radio. Joe did work on the NXT shows over the weekend but he was protected in multiple person matches. He teamed with Bobby Roode, The Revival, and Alexa Bliss to take on Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bayley and American Alpha at the show in Louisville on Sunday night.
We got word from a fan that attended Sunday’s live event and we were told that his elbow was heavily taped. Hopefully, it’s not serious enough that it will eventually require surgery.
thank you Joe #NXTLouisville pic.twitter.com/ttPRYrwJ8o
