1. Samoa Joe is going to get a huge push

Times are changing in the WWE and the company is looking for a new wave of Superstars to push as major players. It’s natural that Samoa Joe finally gets an opportunity to show what he can really do on the main event stage.

The truth is that Joe is one of the best talkers in the company today. His ability to strike legitimate fear in fans with his dire threats makes him really unique. The fact that he can back that talk up with a vicious style of wrestling makes him a perfect candidate to be one brand’s top heel after WrestleMania winds down.

It’s possible that WWE officials could use Joe to really boost the profile of the US Championship belt after WrestleMania, but it’s also very likely that he’s going to find his way into contention for one of the bigger titles. That would require him to drop the US belt in a strong fashion, but booking Joe in some sort of multi-man match after ‘Mania would accomplish that effectively enough.

Specifically, that would allow him to feud with Kofi Kingston on SmackDown if he does defeat Bryan for the belt. Joe is just the sort of purely evil character that can help make sure KofiMania keeps running wild on the WWE Universe.

Even if he makes an unexpected move to Monday Night Raw, he could be an interesting foil for Seth Rollins if he emerges as the face champion on that program. Rollins needs a little help getting over with the crowd and being threatened by Joe for a few months could be the boost he needs.

No matter what, Joe is due a major push from the company. Giving him a big win over Mysterio at WrestleMania is the right platform for launching that push.
