5 WWE Superstars we wish had signed for the company earlier

#3 Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe is one of the most experienced veterans of professional wrestling today. Having competed for Ring of Honor, TNA/Impact Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling NOAH, and other notable promotions, Joe finally did the unthinkable and made his way over to WWE in 2015.

Joe started-off in NXT and went on a rampage. The former TNA Heavyweight Champion defeated the likes of Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, an co. with ease and ended Finn Balor's legendary run as NXT Champion, that too at a House Show.

Much like every other NXT Champion in history, Joe also enjoyed a solid run with the title, and even after dropping the belt, he made a strong introduction on the main roster, as Triple H's henchman. However, things haven't exactly been perfect for the former 'Samoan Submission Machine', whose career on the WWE main roster has taken a major bump due to numerous injuries.

Joe has previously challenged for the WWE Universal Title and has had two runs with the WWE United States Championship but someone of his caliber should've been a WWE World Champion by now. But, Joe currently finds himself on the RAW commentary desk where he replaced Jerry Lawler. While he continues to do a tremendous work as a commentator, I'm sure fans would love to see Joe return to in-ring action.

Things could've been a lot different if the former ROH World Champion had signed with WWE a few years ago, maybe when he was in his 30s.
