A lot of fans have been clamoring for Samoa Joe to become the WWE Champion. Few can dispute that he deserves to be WWE Champion and in all likelihood, will even become the Champ some day. But the fact of the matter is that there's really no place for him in the WWE Championship picture at the moment.
I mean we are in the middle of a red hot feud between Daniel Bryan and Kevin Owens right now. And on the fringes exists a man named Kofi Kingston, who's taken the whole WWE Universe by storm. Inserting Samoa Joe into such a crowded title picture would have been overkill.

Maybe winning the US Championship is the first step for Samoa Joe to reach the WWE Championship. But for now, his job is to bolster the mid-card and make it competitive again.
