Samoa Joe is a 2-time NXT Champion.

Samoa Joe joined WWE in 2015 and made his debut on NXT. After failing to capture the NXT Title from Finn Balor, Samoa Joe turned heel and eventually won the NXT Title in April 2016 at a Live Event. Samoa Joe also became the first superstar to win the NXT title 2 times, when he regained his title from Shinsuke Nakamura. After losing the title, once again to Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe was called up to the main roster in early 2017.

Samoa Joe made a huge impact on his first night on the main roster as he brutally attacked Seth Rollins while Seth was about to confront Triple H.

Samoa Joe had an impressive 2017 where he defeated Superstars like Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Finn Balor etc. and also feuded with Brock Lesnar for 2 months. Samoa Joe is currently feuding with AJ Styles for the WWE title and many people predict that he would be the one to dethrone the Phenomenal One to become the new WWE Champion.
