After debuting on the main roster with an attack on Seth Rollins, and then being left off WrestleMania 33, there were thoughts that WWE had cooled on their interest in Joe being a main event guy. That seems to have disappeared with his match for the WWE title against Brock and now his continued pursuit of Roman Reigns.

However, it was his post-match interview after squashing Rhyno that caught the eye, when he mentioned John Cena as the man who he would eliminate first. These two first met in UPW back in 2000, and Samoa Joe had a hand in getting John hired by the WWE. Have years of resentment built up in Joe and now a ferocious attack is forthcoming?
