WWE Raw: 5 Possible Replacements for Samoa Joe After Suspension

Since Samoa Joe is reportedly suspended and could miss WWE WrestleMania 36, Kevin Owens needs to find a new tag team partner to help him fend off against Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy for the Raw Tag Team Championships. The following will identify and pontificate five possible superstars who could replace Samoa Joe and team up with Kevin Owens.

Samoa Joe has had the the worst luck since WWE kickstarted its road to WWE WrestleMania 36. After sustaining a thumb injury and spending some time on WWE Raw Commentary for a couple of months, Joe finally returned to in-ring competition and entered himself into the storyline with Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins.

Unfortunately, his time in this storyline ran short since he suffered two consecutive concussions. One was due to his debilitating fall from his suicide dive to Murphy and Rollins in a Raw Tag Team Championship match and the other was reportedly due to a table spot he performed for a commercial of some sort.

After these concussions, Joe was probably going to be out of in-ring action for at least two weeks. However, he will definitely be out of in-ring action for a month instead because he reportedly got suspended for violating WWE’s Wellness Policy.

Thanks to these chain of events, Samoa Joe is no longer available as Kevin Owens’ partner on the road to WWE WrestleMania 36. Although he could be back in time for WrestleMania, there’s no guarantee he will still be a significant part of this storyline.

The show must go on with or without Samoa Joe. Henceforth, the following will identify and pontificate five possible superstars who could replace Samoa Joe and team up with Kevin Owens to continue building up this storyline for the next four weeks.
