One of Samoa Joe's most compelling feuds in his WWE career came against Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. It was also one of Lesnar's most interesting feuds.

The pair only had a single one-on-one match, exemplifying how good the program was. Joe posed a threat as big as any when he slowly threatened Paul Heyman and put him to sleep one night after winning a grueling 5-way Extreme Rules match to face the Beast for the big red belt.

Their match at Great Balls of Fire was a great ball of fire. It was a pocket of ferocious intensity, with Joe dominating Lesnar for a good portion of the match. Unfortunately, this match was during Lesnar's first reign, which was meant to end at the hands of Roman Reigns.

Therefore, the match could only end in a Lesnar victory. Since then, Joe has lost every single WWE Title match he's had. However, with Lesnar still on top 2 and a half years later, now is as good a time as any for some sweet revenge.

Babyface Joe could genuinely be one of the most over Superstars in the entire WWE, with the entire crowd already chanting his name during his run as a heel. This makes him a prime contender to face Lesnar for the WWE Championship and take the title from him.

It would make for an amazing story, especially knowing that the Samoan Samoan Submission Machine is a believable contender to end Lesnar's tyranny of the World Championship scene.

WWE should seriously consider booking Joe to beat Lesnar and bring the WWE Title back to RAW on a full-time basis. It would make up for the many failures he's endured over the years. The ensuing title reign wouldn't even need to be a long one, as the moment would be enough.
