Winner: Samoa Joe
Well, I suppose the rebuilding needed to start somewhere.
After failing to capture the WWE Championship from AJ Styles four times, Samoa Joe has been stripped to the bone and revealed as a choke artist. He always looks strong on TV but never wins when it counts on pay per view, much like Braun Strowman and Asuka.
I won't expect a blowout performance at Survivor Series, but having him on the team there is a good way for him to keep himself relevant. He'll also simply be very entertaining in the build, I'm sure. He was the better choice for the team than Jeff Hardy would have been.
I, for one, am looking forward to seeing the possibility of Samoa Joe tangling with the likes of Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre, who are currently slated to appear on the red brand's Survivor Series team. Joe and McIntyre, in particular, convey auras of authenticity, despite their so-far lopsided results.
