As we know in WWE sometimes superstars get injured and are on the shelf for a good little while. What does that have to do with this topic? I’m glad you asked The Samoan Submission Machine. He has been out due to injury and has stepped in on the RAW announce team; while Dio Maddin was recovering from being attacked by the beast Brock Lesnar. And in Dio’s absence on commentary Samoa Joe has killed it on the announce team joining Vic Joseph and the WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “the King” Lawler.
Eventually the Samoan Submission Machine will return to the ring from his current injury, but until that happens people seem to enjoy him on commentary. In my personal opinion I’ve never been a fan of Joe, as a in ring performer but I love Joe the man on commentary. He’s got the voice for the job and makes it fun to listen to every week on RAW.
Once the in ring career of Samoa Joe comes to a close; I think he would definitely have a future as a member of the commentary team. For whatever show he chooses or WWE wants him on, and if he chooses to do that as his next job! It’ll be interesting when Joe returns to ring. Though with Dio Maddin looking to return to in ring competition as well, they could end up going face to face. Who will step up and join the RAW announce team next? We will surely find out soon enough. Whoever it is though will have big shoes to fill as Joe has killed it on commentary. What do you think of his temporary job so far? Do you want to see him back soon in the ring? And who do you think should replace Joe on commentary? Let us know what you think!
