As if he was speaking for every WWE fan who can't stand the man, Samoa Joe whispered to Roman Reigns that he could make the pain end, all he had to do was "go away".

This is the distinct difference between Joe and someone like Randy Orton right now. When Orton had his rest holds on Jeff Hardy, all he did was occasionally smirk at the fans. Joe wanted to tell a story instead, and it came across great to those with eagle eyes.

If Reigns was a proper babyface (y'know, one the mass audience want to root for), it would've been an effective way to build anticipation for his comeback. That's not Joe's fault though. The Samoan did everything he could to come across as a spiteful bully.
