After spending an eternity down in NXT, missing multiple WrestleManias and turning into a jobber to the stars, The Samoan Submission Machine has finally won his first championship in WWE.
Samoa Joe won a fatal 4-way match on this past week'a SmackDown to win the gold, by pinning Andrade. After the win, he went off in a backstage interview, stating clearly that he is not here to please the WWE fans. More importantly, Joe reference John Cena, leading to speculation among the fans.
The rumours have been floating around since a while, and now it almost seems like a lock. John Cena might be coming back to WWE for a match against Joe at WrestleMania. Here are three reasons why this bout is best for business.

#3 A fresh rivalry
Apart from a few TV encounters, these superstars haven't had a proper program on WWE TV. WrestleMania 35 is already getting stacked up with matches that we have already witnessed multiple times, and the inclusion of this match would only do wonders for the card.
Rollins-Lesnar, Triple H-Batista, AJ-Orton are some bouts that we have already seen on our TVs. Cena vs Joe will certainly add that extra intrigue to the Mania card.
#2 Joe needs a big win
Joe has had nothing but extreme levels of bad luck, ever since he came on to the main roster scene. Now that he has finally won a coveted championship, it's high time he gets to face someone of the stature of JohnCena at the grandest stage of them all.
WWE hasn't handled Joe well, but this could be a much-needed start for the beginning of a monster heel push for Joe on SmackDown. He needs to beat Cena clean in the middle of the ring. Pinning Cena on a big stage will elevate him to a whole new level of stardom.
Even better, let Cena finally tap out to Joe. This will act as a huge boost for Joe's dwindling career, as Cena hasn't tapped out in more than 15 years. After Mania, Joe can run roughshod on the SmackDown locker room and become one of the biggest heels in the business by the end of the year.
#1 WWE owes it to Samoa Joe
Joe was one of the hottest superstars when he was signed to an NXT contract. His TNA peer, AJ Styles was immediately thrust into the main event scene upon arrival. He got a big-time match against Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 32, and hasn't looked back since.
Joe, on the other hand, got injured multiple times, and always failed to back up his scathing words, losing to AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns in PPV matches. It's a travesty that WWE has handled a monster heel like Joe in such a manner.
Now that Joe is finally getting a chance to do something of worth, WWE shouldn't drop the ball on him and let him keep the belt for the better part of 2019. They have ruined his character almost beyond repair, and it's time to reverse the huge mistake. A mega-heel Joe would be nothing but best for business.
