5 WWE Superstars who will benefit most from the 2018 Superstar Shake-Up

#1 Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe made a surprise move to SmackDown Live

It’s crazy to think that Samoa Joe has been a major part of WWE programming over the last year, yet he has only been involved in one singles match on PPV (vs. Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire) since April 2017.

Granted, “The Samoan Submission Machine” was sidelined for four of those 12 months due to injuries, but even when healthy he was constantly being added to multi-man matches during his time as a member of the Raw roster.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

A move to SmackDown Live represents the perfect opportunity for Joe to mix it up with new one-on-one WWE opponents, including Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles, and it’ll be a surprise if he hasn’t won his first main-roster title by the end of 2018.
