Samoa Joe Joins SmackDown Live
Sin Cara had no chance, and Samoa Joe completely pulverized him in his first match on SmackDown Live. What an entrance, and Sin Cara had no choice but to tap out immediately to the Coquina Clutch.
It’s going to be incredible watching what Joe does on the SmackDown roster, and I am personally ecstatic for a potential feud with Daniel Bryan. That could be one of the best programs and stories in the WWE whenever it happens, though there’s plenty of other things for these two to do, specifically Bryan.
The promo was insanely good. Joe called out the entire SmackDown Live brand and roster. He said that the wrestlers on the show are convinced that they are better than they are, and he bellowed that he will have “all the opportunities”. Joe specifically called out Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton, stating that he will defang “The Viper”. The Samoan Submission Machine also added that he will “emasculate” current WWE Champion AJ Styles.
But first, he’ll face Roman Reigns at Backlash to settle a feud the two have had on Raw.
Grade: A, Samoa Joe is a big star, and he’s going to reach another level on SmackDown Live, given how insanely good this promo was. I mean, this might have been his best promo yet, and that’s high praise indeed.
