Why Samoa Joe Never Got A WWE World Title

Samoa Joe has been through a lot in his professional wrestling career. He also won many prestigious titles but never won the WWE Championship.

On a recent episode of “Oh, You Didn’t Know,” Road Dogg explained why Vince McMahon never awarded the WWE Title to Samoa Joe.

He explains that Vince McMahon is a “babyface champion.” kind of dude. Samoa Joe wass not a part of this plan but Triple H wanted to use him.

“Vince is a babyface champion guy, and I get that from a promotional standpoint, you’re not going to promote JBL, you’re going to promote Cena.

I don’t know, I just feel like maybe that had something to do with it.”

“I think Hunter realized that when he brought him back down to NXT, even if you can’t do nothing, just come and talk for us because you’re so good at it, and you have such great facials when you cut a promo.”

Road Dogg noted that Samoa Joe enjoys widespread support within the company, as evidenced by his involvement in key storylines.

His run included a feud with Brock Lesnar and holding the NXT and United States championships, although he fell short of WWE’s highest honor.

Samoa Joe got another chance to step into the ring when Tony Khan signed him. He now appears on AEW and ROH, as he simultaneously holds the ROH Television title.

Only time will tell what will happen next for Samoa Joe at this point, but his days as a WWE superstar are in the rearview mirror at this point.
