I realize how the whole segment with Shane McMahon was, in a sense, an attempt to make the WWE RAW product and the presentation seem more 'real'. Well, it doesn't get any more real than Samoa Joe and how he intervened between his broadcast colleague Tom Phillips and his former adversary Seth Rollins. While I do not know whether Samoa Joe has been cleared to compete again, what he did this week on WWE RAW is a clear indication that the fateful day may be fast approaching.

Samoa Joe has a lot to contribute to the WWE landscape beyond his commentary because this is a man who's in the prime of his career and can definitely be a worthy contender for Randy Orton provided the man becomes the next WWE Champion at SummerSlam.

It may be time for him to transition to a WWE RAW ring at last very soon indeed, and become Dominik's ally, especially if Rey Mysterio doesn't re-sign with WWE.
