Maybe we'll get this once the injury is covered on E! Networks Total Divas, but Samoa Joe was involved in the accidental breaking of the neck of Natalya's husband Tyson Kidd, and he may never wrestle again. Pair that with Joe also potentially being the attacker of Hideo Itami, and man. That's quite the resume and definitely a gimmick of a main eventer. Let's only hope that Joe's stuck in a creative quagmire that involves having competitive matches with Baron Corbin for not much longer. If Itami's return times well with the episode of Total Divas revealing Kidd's injury, then this point is moot. However, if WWE doesn't capture this lighting in a bottle and make Samoa Joe "Wrestling's Most Dangerous Man," then it's a massive missed opportunity. Negatives must always be made into positives.
