5 reasons why John Cena vs Samoa Joe is best for business

WWE Superstar Samoa Joe recently called out John Cena in a promo on RAW, triggering speculations about a possible showdown in the future. Although rumours about a possible Cena vs Undertaker encounter are rampant, there are concerns about the Deadman's health, which allows us to fantasize about other dream matches for Super Cena.

This is where Samoa Joe comes in. He has been a juggernaut on RAW, rolling over opponents with ease. Here are five reasons why a feud between John Cena and Samoa Joe is best for business.

---

#1 Established storyline

John and Joe have more than a decade worth's history between them.

John Cena and Samoa Joe were both together a part of WWE's then developmental territory OVW. Their careers are a complete antithesis of each other. While Cena made it big in WWE, Joe took the longer route by slogging it out in bingo halls.

They already have a nearly 15-year-old history to work with. Long storyline arcs are what make matches epic in proportion. Just imagine the amazing video packages WWE would put up to promote this clash of the Titans.

#2 Potential dream match

This match is a guaranteed draw.

The "Poster Boy" of the WWE vs the "Submission Specialist" of the indy scene. The Destroyer vs the Face that runs the place. The match practically sells itself. Both Cena and Joe are revered for their contributions to this business. Everyone has been clamouring to see these heavyweights clash.

With Cena being a free agent, this match is now a mouth-watering prospect not too far away from becoming a possibility. Hardcore wrestling fans will surely flock to watch this match. WWE would put people in the seats by giving the fans exactly what they want.

#3 Match quality

Joe and Cena will blow the roof out of any arena

Although Joe has considerably slowed down over the years, he can still put on a clinic whenever he wants. Just watch his matches with Nakamura in NXT for the championship. And when he comes up against Big Match John, the match is a guaranteed classic.

Cena's incredible matches with Styles prove that age is just a number for him. Cena wrestles a very 'WWE style' while Joe has a completely different moveset. It would be a treat to watch these two veterans slug it out in a battle of resilience and strength.

#4 Gives Joe a marquee match

Joe was left off the entire Wrestlemania card last year

Samoa Joe has been a revelation on RAW. His exemplary promo work and matches established him as a major player on the red brand. Thus, has more than earned a marquee match against a mega-star.

And there's no bigger star in the WWE than John Cena. Joe deserves a match like this after years of toiling on the indy scene. After totally being left off the Wrestlemania card last year, it would be fitting that he faces the greatest performer of this generation.

#5 Creates a new star

Samoa Joe needs a marquee win

John Cena has settled into the role of putting over young talent. Though Samoa Joe is a veteran in his own right, a win over Cena would push him into the stratosphere. Joe would enter the elite club of the few who have pinned Cena clean. This win would do wonders for his WWE career. While Joe is a legend on the indy scene, a win over Cena would introduce him to the mainstream audience like nothing else.

So these were the five reason why this match should happen. Got something to share? Sound off in the comments section below!
