Samoa Joe has had a better year than most, having main evented every single NXT Takeover this year. Sure, we all want to see him on the main roster, but the former NXT Champion is carving a niche for himself as a destructive submission machine on NXT TV.
Who can forget his classic matches this year, against Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura!? Now, we want to see him square off against Lesnar!
