Samoa Joe has long been one of wrestling’s most respected yet feared in-ring competitors. Known for his roughhouse striking, often underestimated athleticism, and debilitating submissions throughout the world, Joe has been a top star for promotions like Ring Of Honor, TNA Wrestling, and now WWE. The man has held countless championships wherever he’s wrestled and has struck terror into the hearts of opponents everywhere.

Despite being so well-traveled, the Samoan Submission Machine has never been in the same place as Rey Mysterio until now. While Rey is known for overcoming larger and more dastardly opponents, the ever-ruthless Samoa Joe could prove to be the one man to stop him in his tracks. Rey's high-flying antics could be quickly halted through a series of Joe's patented stiff kicks or he may find himself grounded as he fights to escape one of the Samoan's many submissions.

Frankly, it's a bout many never thought possible, but now that it is, it would undoubtedly be one of the most unique and impressive matches in recent memory -- not just in WWE but all of the wrestling world.
