#3 Samoa Joe wins Fatal Five Way
Trending
In a match that involved Roman Reigns, Finn Balor, Bray Wyatt, and Seth Rollins, one man persevered and came away as the No. 1 contender. Samoa Joe outlasted the competition, as he used his patented Coquina clutch to choke out Finn Balor, leaving him incapacitated and unable to respond.
During the match, he also had to continue his battle with his current rival Seth Rollins. During the match, each man involved had their opportunity to get the better of the rest. We saw spots happen above the ring and outside the ring, and alliances form and disintegrate.
For what seemed like the majority of the match, Samoa Joe and Bray Wyatt appeared to form a working relationship between themselves against the rest of the challengers. The win by Joe means that he is slated to face WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at the Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view.
This match had been considered by many to be a dream match-up, and it was made a reality. With Great Balls of Fire only over a week away, the build of Samoa Joe as a legitimate threat to Brock Lesnar's title has proven to be quite effective.
