#1 It is about time
Samoa Joe has been in the WWE since 2015, initially performing in the NXT roster. He won the NXT Championship twice before being moved to the main roster in 2017.
Since then, he has had some good feud and even came close to winning the WWE Universal Title and then the WWE Championship in 2017 and 2018 respectively. However, on both occasions, he failed to lay his hands on the title.

So, for two years running, Joe has been denied the top titles. If he is to lose his chance for the third time, the damage that would be inflicted upon his character would be irreversible.
He would then be known as a serial failure and thus, the fans wouldn’t take him seriously anymore. After years of hard work in the wrestling business, it is about time he is rewarded for it.
