Samoa Joe has accomplished everything possible within the confines of NXT. Since debuting in the developmental brand in the May of 2015,"The Samoan Submission Machine" has main evented five TakeOver specials, won the Dusty Rhodes Tag-Team Classic, and was the first ever two-time NXT Champion. During his tenure in NXT, Joe has participated in two outstanding feuds alongside Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura. Other than putting developing stars over, there is nothing new Samoa Joe can do for NXT.
The next logical step for Joe’s WWE career is to be called up to the main roster. The former TNA standout is capable of flushing on either RAW or Smackdown given proper booking, but RAW is a more ideal landing spot for the bruising competitor. A ready-made feud with Roman Reigns awaits Joe, as they can argue over who is the true Samoan warrior. The US Title wouldn’t look out of place on Joe’s shoulders either.
