3) Samoa Joe

WWE Universal/ World/ Intercontinental/ United States Championship

Samoa Joe is ready to move his way up from NXT to WWE’s main roster in 2017. This became clear after he lost his NXT title to Shinsuke Nakamura. It is time for Joe to be called up.

Joe has had a ton of success in his career and I don’t think there is any reason why he can’t continue that when he eventually gets placed on RAW or Smackdown Live’s roster.

The amount of titles I have listed above is based on the fact that I have no idea where WWE is going to place him once he gets called up. Will he be pushed into the main event scene upon arrival? Will he be introduced with a mid-card championship like the United States or Intercontinental Titles? It is not clear just yet.

What is clear is that Samoa Joe is very talented and is a top prospect to win gold in 2017… If they ever pull the trigger and call him up that is.
