5 possible challengers for NXT Champion Samoa Joe

#1. Samoa Joe and WALTER can shake up NXT

Samoa Joe will be looking to take on some big men in his current title reign, and they don’t make men mightier than WALTER. The Ring General became the longest-reigning NXT United Kingdom Champion before losing the title to Ilja Dragunov at TakeOver 36.

However, in his two-year reign, he proved that no one can match his brutality in the ring. The Samoan Submission Machine is one individual who has faced big men and punished them in the ring. After all, he became the first man to pin Karrion Kross.

Now WALTER could move into the NXT Championship picture for some time. Samoa Joe has also expressed his desire to face WALTER in the NXT ring in an interview with Ryan Satin.

“A guy like Walter, people have been asking for it, I’m not blind. It’s for good reason. The guy is a powerhouse and people want to see some furniture moving," Joe said.

The Ring General has had some of his best rivalries in NXT against smaller men. However, it will be interesting to see how he performs against a man who can match him in size and strength.

WWE could book WALTER vs. Samoa Joe for a major TakeOver event before moving The Austrian Anomaly back to NXT UK or the main roster.
