It took Samoa Joe just 60 seconds to defeat Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 35. Whether that was the original plan or a change in booking due to Rey's injury, it made Joe look like an absolute monster.

The subsequent showdown between 'The Samoan Submission Machine' and 'The Monster Among Men' Braun Strowman on SmackDown Live got everyone excited about what the two could do together.

Strowman has seemingly done all there is to do on Raw - aside from winning the Universal Championship - and so a move to SmackDown makes sense. Furthermore, to preface that switch with a ready made opponent in the United States champion adds yet more intrigue.

The red brand has always traditionally been seen as the land of the giants, but with the fast approaching Fox deal that sees the blue brand change to a Friday night show mere months away, perhaps WWE will focus more of their attention on the perceived B-show.

A feud between Joe and Braun is a mouth-watering prospect, and considering the usual dip in quality following WrestleMania, this would be a red-hot piece of booking going forward.
