5 current WWE Superstars who were successful after leaving Ring of Honor

The Destroyer has been very successful since leaving Ring of Honor

#4 Samoa Joe

Whether it is Brock Lesnar or Seth Rollins, Joe continues to showcase his dominance as part of RAW

The Samoan Submission Machine may be known as the destroyer now, but he had to start somewhere.

When ROH first opened its doors in 2002, it had always said that it was all about its code of honour. However, as Christopher Daniels’ hired gun, his role was simply to take out the competition. It isn't unlike what he did when he was doing the bidding of Triple H when he took out Seth Rollins. As a former ROH Pure and World champion, Joe was among the most dominant men in the promotion.

Since then Joe has competed for Impact Wrestling and captured their X-division and World championship. Joe's career has continued to evolve to where he is today. One of the most notable things about Joe is that before he made his main roster debut, he was part of WWE's NXT brand and was a two-time NXT champion.

As a current contender for the WWE Universal championship, Joe continues to show not only his relevance but his scathing and intense nature, never backing down from a challenge regardless of whom they are, big and small.
