For years, there was a question of whether or not "The Samoan Submission Machine" would ever come to the WWE. Throughout his career, Samoa Joe has been no stranger to championship success. During his time in Ring of Honor, Joe won both the Pure and ROH World Championship.

When he signed with TNA /IMPACT Wrestling, Joe went on an undefeated streak. This led to championships galore—X-Division, Tag Team, and World Heavyweight titles to be exact.
