PWI 500 reveals top ten Wrestlers of 2017 

#9 Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe debuted on January 30th episode of RAW, attacking Seth Rollins and aligning himself with Triple H. Prior to that, Joe was a dominant force in NXT and even held the brand’s main championship for a few months before making it to the main roster. Even on the main roster, Joe was quickly pushed to the top, feuding with Rollins, Balor, and Brock Lesnar, earning himself a Universal Championship match in the process. Though Joe lost that match, his dominant run in NXT and WWE has earned him a place at number 8.
