#4 Best: Separating Reigns & Joe

Joe could fare much better on SmackDown Live

Nobody can deliver an intense promo like Samoa Joe. However, it was getting tiring to see Joe cut promo after promo on Roman Reigns without actually coming to blows. We know that the two men will clash at Backlash very soon. That should be the end of their feud for a while.

At the same time, we wonder if there will be any heat for the match if the two men are kept apart. We've seen how the audience can grow apathetic towards Reigns' matches. Would they be invested in a match without a possible build?

We're excited to see Joe mix it up with Bryan and Styles. Maybe even team up with Shinsuke Nakamura, his once arch nemesis.

And that concludes our article...but the 'Mellabration never stops!
