10 WWE Superstars Who Are Firing On All Cylinders Right Now

2. Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe has been an absolute revelation since arriving on the main roster early on in 2017. Similar to Braun Strowman, he unfortunately never won a championship last year (though he should have against Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire), but his work in the ring and on the mic more than made up for that.

His hot streak carried into 2018 when he targeted Roman Reigns on the post-WrestleMania edition of Raw and annihilated him in a one-sided verbal sparring. Their Backlash bout left a lot to be desired, mind you, but moving to SmackDown Live in the Superstar Shake-up was the best thing that could have happened to him.

He hasn't had many matches on the Tuesday night program in the past month, but in that time, he has put WWE champion AJ Styles on notice, squashed Sin Cara, and come face-to-face with old rival Daniel Bryan. In other words, he has barely scratc the surface of what he's capable of accomplishing on the blue brand all while making a noticeable impact.

Assuming he can stay healthy, Joe is bound for big things in the second half of 2018.
