10 Strongest Booked Wrestlers In WWE Today
9. Samoa Joe
A few weeks ago, Samoa Joe would have occupied a loftier position on the countdown. Unfortunately, his loss to Seth Rollins at Payback hinders him somewhat, but he has been booked immaculately since joining the main roster in January, and remains a ferocious force on Raw regardless of his latest match result.
Debuting him as Triple H’s ‘Destroyer’ gave Joe an instant jolt of momentum, and this has continued in the ring. Joe is 6-1 in singles matches since graduating from NXT, and even has a win over Roman Reigns to his name. With the Rollins feud continuing, Joe will likely have the opportunity to nullify his sole loss with a win of his own, before continuing his journey up the path to success.
Joe feels just as important to Raw as he did to NXT, and his brutal, ruthless character has lost nothing in translation. He may never be Universal Champion, but he’ll feel like a huge threat for as long as he’s rubbing shoulders with the brand’s biggest stars. Finally enjoying the kind of WWE run that his long, storied career merits, Samoa Joe’s focus has rarely been stronger.
