As has been mentioned already, WWE is missing a very critical component in AJ Styles who is out with an injury (even though he is slated to return soon). And with the suspension of Andrade for a month, things got even more dire for WWE since both of their top male Champions were missing this week.
Therefore the return of Samoa Joe was a welcome sight and I'm glad that he's not out for as long as some had assumed on the internet. However, I was a little confused to see that while he made a triumphant return, it was him that took the pin thanks to Seth Rollins.

Joe has never been portrayed as the kind of monster that he should be because he loses a lot more than the man actually wins. If nothing else, he should have been the winner in his big comeback match, in my personal opinion.
And how cool is it to see that Alexa Bliss retweeted Sportskeeda's own Gary Cassidy? What a lucky chap!
