It might be a daunting task to recall the last time Samoa Joe won a match in WWE, and despite a common saying that "wins and losses" don't matter, Joe's streak of losses is definitely starting to matter as it pertains to the former United States Champion's credibility.

Samoa Joe is heading down a path similar to that of Bray Wyatt prior to Wyatt reinventing himself as The Fiend, and it's a path to which many fans hope Wyatt never returns.

Joe is one of, if not the best talents on the microphone in all of WWE. His promo abilities are nearly unmatched, and he brings authenticity and realism rarely seen from his peers in WWE.

Yet Joe's ability to "talk the talk" has translated into terrible match booking for the former NXT Champion, as he cannot win the big bout when push comes to shove. In recent months, Joe lost a quick squash match at WrestleMania, regained and then quickly lost the United States Title, and has lost big matches against the likes of Roman Reigns and Kofi Kingston.

Joe is in serious need of a big match win sometime soon, or all of his great promos will eventually fall on deaf ears from an audience growing more and more apathetic towards the Samoan Submission Machine.
