#1 Samoa Joe
Trending
Samoa Joe has been in NXT for two years now and has accomplished everything he can on that brand. Joe’s had mid-card feuds, he’s won the NXT Championship twice, and he’s faced off against some of NXT’s biggest stars.
There’s nothing left for Joe to do in NXT, so the next logical step would be for The Samoan Submission Machine to debut on the main roster through the Royal Rumble match.
Joe debuting in the Royal Rumble match is the perfect opportunity to call him up to the main roster. In that scenario, he could make himself stand out by going toe to toe with men like Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker, and Goldberg.
He could go for a decent amount of time and eventually be eliminated, but the best way to get him over as a huge star would be for him to win the match.
It's reported that the WWE is interested in a program between Samoa Joe and John Cena for the WWE Championship and if that’s true, having Joe win the Rumble match would make the feud feel like a big-time match.
Even if Joe doesn’t win the championship, the fact that he would debut and win the Rumble would be a great way to get him over as a legitimate threat.
Joe may not win the match, but as long as he has a strong showing, the fans will be happy just to know that he’s coming to the main roster.
