#2 Samoa Joe

The Samoan Submission Machine was expected to do great things when he signed with the WWE, however, things were not as expected for Joe as he had to settle with only two reigns with the NXT Championship. While his TNA Colleague AJ Styles has won the WWE and US Championships multiple times, Joe has failed to achieve the same amount of success on the main roster.
Joe is now chasing his first major single's championship on the main roster as he is looking to dethrone Roman Reigns to become the new Intercontinental Champion. But a mid-card title is not enough to solidify Joe as a top star in the WWE.
WWE can pull off an absolute shocker if they decide to have Joe win the Royal Rumble match and have him go on to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Show of Shows. The build-up towards their previous encounter at Great Balls of Fire was very entertaining and it went very well with the fans, so it won't be a mistake if WWE higher ups give the nod to have Joe win the 2018 Royal Rumble match.
