#4. Big E admits to stealing Samoa Joe's move in WWE
It's an unfortunate fact that Samoa Joe is no longer a part of the WWE as he was one of the many big names released recently by the company.
Joe's WWE run could have been entirely different had it not been blighted by untimely injuries, but he still influenced the product, fans, and the talent in many impactful ways during his time in the company.
During a recent episode of New Day's Feel The Power podcast, Big E opened up about stealing the Uranage from Samoa Joe.
Big E revealed that he adopted the move and did feel bad about it when WWE eventually signed Joe.
The former New Day member initially thought about giving up the Uranage out of respect for Samoa Joe. However, the former TNA world champion didn't seem to have any problems with him incorporating the move into his set. The former Intercontinental Champion also recalled tweeting at Joe regarding using the Uranage maneuver.
"The uranage, I just stole from Samoa Joe. Straight up. I felt bad once he got signed and he was using it. I was like, 'Out of respect, maybe I should stop using it,' but he never gave me any flack. Joe was always cool about it. Once, I tweeted him 'Sorry, Uce,' and that was my way of saying, 'Sorry, but I'm still gonna keep using it.' It's a great move. Joe is a stand-up dude; I feel like he would've said something," said Big E. H/t Fightful
As noted above, Samoa Joe was released from his WWE contract on April 15th earlier this year, and as things stand, The Samoa Submission Machine is yet to make his next big move.
