6 Stars WWE needs to push in 2018

#5 Samoa Joe

Raw began to heat up with this.

Samoa Joe was one of the hottest acts of the summer who was partially responsible for increasing Raw's viewership during his lit feud with Brock Lesnar. Though Joe didn't come out on top of that program and injury derailed his momentum soon after, he's come back just as over as he ever was.

Samoa Joe, who is Kurt Angle's former tag team partner in TNA, should be a mainstay in Raw's main event picture next year. Or perhaps he could even be traded to SmackDown and eventually win the WWE Championship. The blue brand could certainly use a Joe title reign after the gutter Jinder Mahal has put it in in 2017.
