After becoming the first ever two time NXT champion, losing the title back to Shinsuke Nakamura in the following rematch, the rumblings began of a Samoa Joe call up to the main roster. After Bobby Roode became the new #1 contender for the championship, there is nothing left for Joe to do in NXT.

The Royal Rumble match looks like it is the perfect way to introduce Samoa Joe to the larger WWE audience. While winning the 30 man match may not be likely, having Joe enter in the middle of the match and go on a war path until he is either eliminated by a large group of superstars or by his first main roster rival is a great introduction for the prior TNA mainstay.
