6. Joe’s One-Liner

As anyone who has watched Raw during the past year knows, Samoa Joe is a hell of a promo.

He was his usual commanding self Monday as he told Renee Young that he owned Roman Reigns, that he exposed Roman, that the Shield would never be champions together because of him. And his best line came at the expense of Young’s spouse: “It’s because of me that Dean Ambrose is a stay-at-home husband living off his wife’s paycheck.”

That line got a good reaction out of the crowd and Renee herself, who licked her lips, nodded in a frustrated way and turned back to Joe. It was just another good promo from Joe that reminded you why you don’t skip his interviews when you DVR Raw.
