10 WWE superstars whose 2018 second halves will be better than their first

#10 Samoa Joe

After the way Samoa Joe was protected in that gauntlet match last week, it seems fairly obvious where we're going from here.

AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe at SummerSlam.

At the Brooklyn spectacular, it is well within the realm of possibility that Samoa Joe captures his maiden WWE Championship. It would certainly be a remarkable achievement for someone who spent the first three months of the year on the injury shelf.

A champion Samoa Joe would also have a number of thrilling feuds awaiting him - Daniel Bryan, Jeff Hardy, and possibly even Aleister Black all spring to mind.

Regardless, Joe is going to get hotter with the summer. No one carries himself with more authenticity than he does, and the most remarkable thing about him is that authenticity remains no matter his wins or losses.
