5 Ways Samoa Joe Can Be Used at WWE WrestleMania 33
By Dean Siemon
1. Replace Seth Rollins and Face Triple H
Seth Rollins suffering a knee injury after the attack from Samoa Joe came at a pretty bad time. The WWE had been planning to have Rollins face Triple H at WrestleMania 33. The storyline had been brewing since last August. That’s when Triple H gave Rollins the Pedigree to allow Kevin Owens to win the vacated WWE Universal Championship.
There seems to be a chance that Rollins could be back in time for WrestleMania, but it is a significant knee injury. The last thing fans and the WWE officials would want to see is Rollins not healing properly. That means not rushing back too fast from re-injuring his knee that kept him out of action for about a year.
While it would likely mean a quick face turn for Samoa Joe, a storyline for a match with The Game could work. Samoa Joe has been in the world of professional wrestling for a long time. He even noted it when he cut his first promo earlier this month on Raw. He’s seen a lot of things; including being backstabbed by people who are supposed allies.

Considering Rollins is just the most recent example of Triple H’s history of turning on his allies, Samoa Joe could choose to attack first. It would be an interesting twist for WrestleMania season. But the WWE can’t assume that Rollins will be 100 percent by the time the first Sunday of April rolls around.
