When Finn Bálor is done messing around with Bray Wyatt in a feud that will surely involve his 'Demon' guise, WWE may find they need to get him back on track with a series of hard-hitting matches. The solution is simple: Samoa Joe is the man to go up against the Irishman post-Wyatt silliness.

The glut of quality matches Joe and Bálor had down in NXT should let the main roster creative team know what they have on their hands. This pair don't need fancy stories, long-winded promos or even much build at all. Simply put them inside the ring, establish that they dislike one another and let the entertainment commence.

Should the writers feel they need a title to justify the feud, then The Miz's Intercontinental gold would be a good shout. Sacrifice Miz to either one if a belt is necessary, but please just let them go at it for 15-20 minutes on pay-per-view.
