WrestleMania 35: 5 potential finishes for Samoa Joe vs Rey Mysterio

The United States title has achieved the recognition of being the most overlooked title by WWE. Ever since it came to SmackDown Live, it has been held by some of the top Superstars, but somehow or other, it has never had an important story attached to it. Heading into WrestleMania 35, it is set to be defended in a match between Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio.

There was an intense lack in the buildup to the match in the go-home shows. Samoa Joe is one of the best talents in WWE right now and has the potential to be the top heel if given the right push. Unfortunately, that's also exactly what he has lacked in the recent past, and unless something spectacular happens at WrestleMania, things are unlikely to change.

Rey Mysterio is participating in the match after there was worry that he would not be able to compete at WrestleMania. He suffered an injury last SmackDown Live, but the master of the 6-1-9 will be competing on the show after all. He was cleared for the Grandest Stage of them all with less than 24 hours to go for the show.

Here are all 5 potential finishes for Samoa Joe vs Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania.

#5 Samoa Joe wins and retains

Samia Joe could get the win in a clean manner over Rey Mysterio

Samoa Joe seems like the obvious choice to win this match.

He is the heel and a brilliant one at that, and his ability to ground smaller and faster opponents was put on display when he took out Mustafa Ali in a matter of seconds on SmackDown Live last week.

Given his size, and his ability to put people to sleep with the Coquina Clutch, Samoa Joe will need only one move to put Rey Mysterio to sleep and win the match, thereby retaining his title.

#4 Andrade interferes

Andrade has had enough from Rey Mysterio

In the lead up to the match between Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio, there is one man who was mysteriously overlooked in what many thought would be a Triple Threat match. Andrade has been a force to be reckoned with ever since coming to SmackDown Live.

He will take part in the Andre 'The Giant' Memorial Battle Royal on the Kick-off show, but he could be looking to get a measure of revenge against Mysterio for taking a place at WrestleMania that he felt should belong to him, and interfere in the match.

#3 Rey Mysterio wins

Rey Mysterio could be the Grand Slam Champion at WrestleMania

Samoa Joe has one move in particular that Rey Mysterio has to be careful for -- the Coquina Clutch. He can sink it in at any point during the match, even from a blocked 6-1-9.

Mysterio, however, is no stranger to avoiding the devastating moves of big men. What he lacks in size, Mysterio makes up for in speed and experience. He has fought and defeated the likes of the Undertaker, Big Show, and Kane.

To him, Samoa Joe might just be another big man to knock down.

Also, if Rey Mysterio wins, he becomes a Grand Slam Champion.

#2 Rusev breaks things down

Rusev could interfere in the match!

A man who has been more than upset with the reduced role he has had to play at WrestleMania 35 is Rusev. His wife was vocal about it on Social Media, as Lana blasted the fans for not supporting her husband.

He has more than enough reasons to be frustrated, as he is now in a pointless tag team with Shinsuke Nakamura.

This could all break down at WrestleMania if he interferes in the match between Joe and Mysterio, to get back the United States Title that he still believes is his.

#1 Mustafa Ali gets his revenge

Mustafa Ali has had a topsy turvy run on the main roster

Mustafa Ali is one of the WWE Superstars who has had the worst luck leading up to WrestleMania 35.

Schedule to be in the Elimination Chamber, he lost his match opportunity due to an injury. Then, to add salt to his wounds, he lost in his match against Samoa Joe last SmackDown Live in a matter of moments.

That is enough to make anyone snap, and Ali could easily turn heel, and attack and take out both Mysterio and Joe during their match.
