We’ve often seen WWE push NXT Champions to the top immediately. Be it Paige, Finn Balor or even Charlotte, each one of these superstars has been launched to the top program almost immediately in the main roster, thanks to their ability, skill, and reputation.
It is a well-known fact that Samoa Joe was in developmental for a long time, not because he lacked the experience, but so that he could work with younger guys and help hone their skills in the process.

Now that it’s almost certain that Joe is done with NXT, it looks likely that he will debut at The Royal Rumble. There have been many rumours that WWE may want Samoa Joe to win the whole Royal Rumble match.
Add the fact that both Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels have put him over recently, Joe's future in the main roster seems bright.
