Proved WWE wrong

As said themselves by WWE on a recent edition of the WWE Network's WWE Chronicle, Samoa Joe proved WWE wrong.

Much like the aforementioned Eric Young and Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe debuted for WWE in NXT when he was in his mid-30's and was told during his first meeting with Triple H, that Joe would likely never see the main roster due to not having what Vince McMahon was looking for, but would be a valuable addition to NXT.

However, Samoa Joe proved with his fantastic performances and sold out merchandise, that he would be a great addition to the main roster, and ever since he did in 2017, despite some separate injuries having him miss some time away, Joe has been incredible.

Joe has already been in the main event of four pay-per-views, with two victories at them, and has delivered some excellent matches and promos. As of this writing, Joe is feuding with WWE Champion AJ Styles on Smackdown.
