#4 Samoa Joe

The Samoan Submission Machine can't seem to catch a break lately. His career, over the last few years, has been severely impacted by injuries. Currently, the former United States Champion is serving as a commentator on RAW. But interestingly, injuries couldn't stop Samoa Joe from envisioning a hard-hitting dream bout with The Undertaker.

For the first time since Extreme Rules 2019, the Phenom returned to action earlier this year at WWE Super ShowDown where he replaced an injured Rey Mysterio as the final entrant in a gauntlet match for the "Tuwaiq Trophy". The Undertaker ended up winning that match by pinning AJ Styles, and a feud between the two was initiated.

Around that time, Samoa Joe was recovering from a concussion and a few days later, he would be suspended for 30 days for violating WWE's wellness policy. During his time off, Joe expressed interest in a match against The Undertaker, even though he stated that timing may not allow it to go down. He told SportsBible:

"And for the timing not to match up where me and the 'Deadman' could have crossed one another in the ring and got down, it's probably one of the unfortunate checks that I won't be able to mark off my bucket list."

It's unfortunate that we never got to see a Samoa Joe vs The Undertaker match. With The Phenom now ready to hang up his boots for good, it's everything but confirmed that the showdown in question would never take place.
