This one was a classic example of a backstage promo done right. Just have a look at Samoa Joe's eyes.

When he's in character, he is truly badass. This segment took place on the RAW before The Great Balls of Fire PPV, which was Samoa Joe's first shot at the WWE Universal Championship. And his opponent? Brock Lesnar.

There is such distinction in Joe's promo, that makes you wanna place your bets on him winning.

Samoa Joe spoke about how he has been hunting the Champion for the past several weeks and that he has always taken Lesnar down every opportunity he got.

Which, by the way, was actually true. Brock Lesnar isn't known for his promo skills but everyone knows that he has Paul Heyman, who doesn't need much introduction.

Things started getting really serious when Joe got into Heyman's head.

A week prior to this promo, Paul Heyman and Samoa Joe's segment on RAW had earned a lot of praise from the online wrestling community, which also included Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer.

But what made the segment from the next episode of RAW stand out was the sheer intensity with which Joe was delivering his lines, and the fallout from it lead to Samoa Joe almost get his hands on the Beast Incarnate.

This can be regarded as one of Samoa Joe's best mic work, his chemistry with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman was absolutely wonderful to watch as a wrestling fan.
