#2. To make Samoa look like a monster heel
Samoa Joe is the best heel on the roster. Alright, let's reword that a bit. Joe has the potential to be the best heel on the roster. The former TNA World Champion has it all that makes for a great bad guy - the razor-sharp promo skills and ruthless in-ring work to back it up.
However, WWE's booking of the Samoan Submission Machine in his WWE Championship feud against AJ Styles party dented his monstrous aura. Joe capturing the US title is not just a reboot for him, but also for the US title that has lost a considerable amount of prestige.
A string of underwhelming champions have not helped the cause and having Joe as a dominant holder of the strap will go a long way in making the championship relevant again.
A win against a legend in Mysterio is the step in the right direction. A squash match has made it even better.
What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
