5 WWE Superstars who could join Roman Reigns in a heel faction

#1. Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns have a lot of history with each other

Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe have a lot of history with each other. And stylistically speaking, the two men also have a lot of things in common inside the squared circle. Having faced each other on numerous occasions, Reigns and Joe are no strangers to each other.

And to make things a lot more interesting, The Tribal Chief even recently went on record and claimed that if WWE ever puts him, Joe, The Usos, and the rest of his family in a faction, then Reigns and co. would easily squash RETRIBUTION and even The Hurt Business in WWE. Quite the bold statement that.

Pairing Samoa Joe with Roman Reigns at this stage of the former's career sounds like a very wise move. Not only would the move open the door for Joe's return to in-ring competition, but the former WWE US Champion could also be the promo guy of the faction, despite the inclusion of Paul Heyman.

If the WWE Universe ever hopes to witness Samoa Joe hold a WWE World Title, this probably is the last opportunity for the former NXT Champion to do so. Nevertheless, Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns' alliance would definitely fulfill a dream line-up.
