#5 Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe is almost a forgotten entity on SmackDown Live and WWE as a whole, and that is due to WWE not really doing much to make the former NXT Champion a threat on the blue brand. But not all is lost for Joe, as he is never truly out of the game, and with regards to the Royal Rumble, he is surely the dark horse to win the match.
Joe winning the Rumble is not so far-fetched when you think about the possibilities awaiting him if he does.
On Raw Joe has the option of facing Strowman or Lesnar, and on SmackDown Live he has the option of facing AJ Styles or Daniel Bryan.
These are men Joe has unfinished business with, and there are not many superstars who can actually say that.
Moreover, with WWE's new era in full effect, could Joe finally get the push he deserves?
