5 reasons why Samoa Joe's babyface turn is a ploy

#2 This sudden change of heart doesn't make sense

It's out there for everyone to see! The ones who have been following this storyline are aware of the fact that Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns have been at each other's throats for a while now. Last week on Monday Night Raw, the Samoan Summit angle ended with a string of Superstars brawling on the entrance stage, with Reigns and Joe going at it throughout the segment.

A week later, Joe is mad at the fact that he has been accused of attacking Reigns, and wants an apology from him for the same. Suddenly, another attack takes place and one of the most dastardly and ruthless heels on the main roster turns into a sympathetic good guy?

It just doesn't work this way, especially if the person in question is someone like Samoa Joe, who not only possesses incredible physical strength, but is also a master at playing mind games, if his feud with AJ Styles in the past is any indication.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
