10 WWE Stars Samoa Joe MUST Face If He Returns To The Ring
5. Tommaso Ciampa
Tommaso Ciampa has secretly been having one of the best years of his career, and yet he's not getting as much attention as he should. One way to make sure that the spotlight reaches him would be to place him in this potential barnstormer of a match-up, as Joe is going to bring eyes wherever he goes.
When it comes to the match between this duo, you know it's going to be good. Ciampa is a very skilled performer, and he has an intensity that very few wrestlers can match. His unnerving in-ring work is something that Joe would feed off perfectly, as he could bring out a more vulnerable side of the former NXT Champion, and Ciampa could respond in kind by knocking Joe down a peg or two.
It's not even hard to believe that they'd do a great job, as they've already faced each other on NXT TV and given us a taste of what they could do. But their 2015 NXT bout was nowhere near Ciampa's prime time and didn't receive the main event attention it could have now, so it's long overdue a do-over.
