5 Superstars who can replace Samoa Joe on RAW after his suspension

#4 Ricochet

WWE's 'Resident Superhero' is in a desperate need for a new mission

Ricochet is widely considered as one of the most promising Superstars on the entire roster. He is currently involved in a feud with Brock Lesnar, as his low blow allowed McIntyre to eliminate the ‘Beast Incarnate’ from the Royal Rumble match. However, this rivalry is expected to end at WWE Super ShowDown where the two Superstars will lock horns in a title match that will surely not end in his favor.

Following that, Ricochet could make for a good replacement for Samoa Joe. He is a good competitor and can help Kevin Owens and the Viking Raiders against Seth Rollins, Buddy Murphy, and the Authors of Pain.

WWE’s resident Superhero has not been involved in good storylines for a while. But that can change if he is involved in this rivalry between Rollins and Owens as both Superstars can work wonders when it comes to putting over other talents. Moreover, KO will have someone reliable to watch his back when he is dealing with the disciples of the Monday Night Messiah.

#3 Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio has an old score to settle with Seth Rollins!

When Seth Rollins first turned heel, he called out several Superstars for their ‘questionable’ work in recent times. That list also included WWE veteran Rey Mysterio, who was visibly agitated with the arrogance of the former Universal Champion. At one point, Mysterio even gave his Kendal stick to Kevin Owens so that the latter could beat up Rollins.

Not to forget, both Mysterio and the Architect were involved in a few encounters before the Creative decided to move on from that story. Now that Samoa Joe will no longer be there to help Owens in his ongoing rivalry with Rollins, it only makes sense that the latter would turn to someone who has already backed him in this narration.

Allowing Mysterio to replace Joe will be a smart decision as he can easily make way for the former when he returns after his 30-day suspension. His exit for the feud won’t hurt his character and it will allow the creatives to keep room for Joe’s safe return to the storyline when he will be back in action after a few weeks.
