10 Best WWE Wrestlers Of 2017
5. Samoa Joe
Is Samoa Joe the solution to a problem WWE are pretending not to have?
In Brock Lesnar, they have a Universal Champion that thrives from hardly being anywhere near the actual product. Monday Night Raw is both barren and over-loaded. It's a three-hour creative sinkhole, swallowing in even the most dynamic performers to the minutiae and mundanity of the downtrodden day-to-day life of the WWE Superstar.
As Universal Champion, Lesnar pops up with his mouthpiece once in a while, drops a scrub on a pay-per-view then departs. Samoe Joe, if anybody could be, may be the full-time version of 'The Beast'.
Harnessing an unshakable charisma as an ice cold killer from lengthy unbeaten spells in Ring Of Honor and TNA, the 'Samoan Submission Machine' rediscovered his confidence in NXT and followed through on that promise with one of the best main roster ascensions in the history of the develipmental brand.
Left off of WrestleMania but no worse off for it, Joe went in at the top level undertaking assassin duties for Triple H, and hasn't slid down the card since. Multi-man pay-per-view main events have seen him take a share of the spotlight rather than fading into the background, and his solo run at Brock Lesnar ousted Braun Strowman's effort by some distance. In 'The Beast', the company has a part-time unstoppable monster as Universal Champion. Samoa Joe may be the one to do it four nights a week.
