So Andrade and Mysterio were putting on a real clinic. It was in the final moments of what had been an extraordinary match between two extraordinary superstars that Samoa Joe invaded the ring. Nobody saw it coming but it was a great way to build the Royal Rumble match, in my opinion.
I love the fact that Samoa Joe is being given a push as a singles superstar. His stock has suffered ever since his series of losses to AJ Styles when he could not get the job done at all. As monstrous as the man is, he's never really been booked as a monster.
But it was the arrival of Randy Orton who RKOed Samoa Joe out of nowhere that really made this segment special and got us pumped up for the Royal Rumble. A heel was attacking a heel because it is every man for himself at the Rumble!
