10 Bold Predictions For WWE In The Next 12 Months

10. Samoa Joe Returns As A Locker Room Leader

It is a well-known fact that Samoa Joe and Triple H have a strong relationship. Not only did The Game advocate to have Joe work under him upon the former NXT Champion's main roster debut as The Cerebral Assassin's protégé, but also quickly rehired Joe when Vince fired him out of the blue.

Unfortunately, the Samoan Submission Machine couldn’t be saved when the real-life Paul Levesque went down with a health scare, and in Trips' absence, NXT became NXT 2.0 and Joe was booted right back out the door. Luckily enough for him, the rest of the world is able to recognise the 43-year-old's incredible talents and Tony Khan snapped the Orange County native up for the revamped Ring Of Honor.

However, Joe has not ruled out a return to WWE, and he would be at the top of the list of people Triple H wants back. If for any reason the ROH TV Champion finds himself out of his AEW contract early, the door to WWE would be wide open. Joe would be a great fit as an all-round company man.

Wrestling part-time, sitting behind the commentator's desk, producing, training rookies and being a general locker room leader around the backstage area, are all perfect roles for the Samoan Destroyer.
