While he is currently a commentator on Monday Night RAW, Samoa Joe's most recent act as an active wrestler was as a babyface. Joe turned during his first stint on commentary when he clashed with Seth Rollins and AOP. However, his best work in WWE has been as a heel.

Joe actually started out as a babyface in NXT, before turning heel to feud with Finn Balor. Since then, he has been one of the biggest and brightest stars WWE has had. The Samoan Submission Machine is a very menacing figure and is able to adapt his tone to various different situations.

Joe can be frighteningly calm, like that segment with Paul Heyman ahead of his match with Brock Lesnar. He can also go full swing on the mic showing intensity like nobody else. AJ Styles knows how that feels. Joe's presence and demeanor make him feel special, along with his incredible in-ring skills.

On his day, hardly anybody can be as dangerous as Samoa Joe. Had it not been for his rotten luck with injuries, he would have likely been a World Champion in WWE.
