Because Brock Lesnar is only a part-time performer, and because of the complete burial of The Club, what Raw lacks at the moment is a certified bad ass. Enter Samoa Joe. The former NXT Champion is scripting a story of mass destruction on NXT right now, and one needs to remember that Brock Lesnar needs legitimate opponents once he is back on television, for Fastlane and Wrestlemania.
If Samoa Joe is called up well in time, he can be built to look like a certified monster and take on The Beast Incarnate. The key is to book him in such a manner that he destroys all his opponents before facing Lesnar inside the squared circle. 50-50 booking would destroy the Samoan Submission Machine’s credibility.
