Granted, Kofi Kingston has been putting on fine matches as the WWE Champion and he deserves to be champion for a long time, but Samoa Joe is an athlete who is tailor-made to become world champion. Joe has tried for so long, yet he can't grab hold of the brass ring. He failed numerous times last year against Styles. The story was similar for Joe this year as he lost to Kofi in the WWE title match at Extreme Rules.
Joe established himself as the most credible and threatening challenger to Kofi, but he couldn't get the job done. Joe always comes close to winning the WWE title, but just can't seem to get hold of the title he has been chasing for two years now.
It was the most opportune time to crown Joe as the WWE Champion. He has lost on the big stage so many times now that fans don't believe him in anymore.
