Joe lost his WWE Championship opportunity once again

Aleister Black and Cesaro tore the house down with an incredible match which saw Cesaro’s best heel side come out, while Black managed to keep his never-say-die attitude alive.

In the end, Cesaro took control and almost took the victory before a Black Mass out of nowhere helped Black pick up a return victory.

Fast forward to the WWE Championship match, and we saw something similar happen between Samoa Joe and Kofi Kingston. Joe proved to be as ruthless as Cesaro, but Kofi kept fighting on just like Black.

In the end, Joe took control and almost won his first WWE Championship before a Trouble in Paradise out of nowhere helped Kofi pick up the win.

Not only was the ending of the match a bit of a repeat, but it was also underwhelming as Joe could have been Kofi’s biggest threat to date. With that, we might have seen Joe lose yet another chance to win a major title, and we’ll see him get lost in the mid-card once again just like he did after taking on AJ Styles.
