It's a damn shame that in spite being one of the most sought after performers in the world of professional wrestling, Samoa Joe may never receive the adulation he deserves in WWE.

The Destroyer took the world by storm after he savagely attacked Seth Rollins and was introduced as Triple H's personal henchman on the Road to WrestleMania 33.

On the February 6th, 2017 episode of Monday Night Raw, the former NXT Champion collided with Roman Reigns and scored a decisive victory over him.

Though Braun Strowman did try and interfere in the clash, Joe's victory certainly ascended his credibility as a top-tier main-event star.

However, things took a drastic turn afterwards. Even after debuting on the main roster prior to WrestleMania 33, the creative team had no significant plans for Joe and he was eventually sidelined from featuring at the Show of Shows.

Despite receiving so much acclaim for his mic work and savage disposition, it's absolutely shambolic that Joe has never won a single World Championship on the main roster.
