2. Will Samoa Joe pay for his actions at the Rumble?

Samoa Joe is an intimidating wrestler. There is no doubt about it. The Samoan Submission Machine has been a wrecking ball as of late, taking out everybody in his path. Joe’s attacks are relentless and brutal and often needs no level of provocation from his victims. A week ago, Joe decided to make an example out of Mustafa Ali, instead of competing in the ring.

This week, after disposing of Ali, who put on a fight, Joe would continue on his rampage and interfere in a classic match between Rey Mysterio and Andrade. Joe would take out both competitors, babyface and heel alike, much to the dismay of the fans. However, before long, the Viper would come out of nowhere to take down Joe.

All of this has placed a huge target on Samoa Joe’s back as he heads into the Royal Rumble match to compete against 29 other men, most of whom have potentially felt his wrath. It is no secret that a wealth of talent would be looking to get their hands on Samoa Joe. Starting from Jeff Hardy to Rey Mysterio and even Mustafa Ali, superstars will want to take out Joe at the very first opportunity.

I would not be surprised to see Mysterio, Ali, and Andrade gang up on Joe should a moment present itself where all these men are in the match at the same time. Throw in stars from Raw, like Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre, who will definitely look for stiff competition and you have a number of reasons to believe Samoa Joe will not be able to win it all.

Will the big man’s recent attacks and actions lead to his ultimate downfall at the Rumble? How will he react should that be the case come Sunday?
