WWE Rumors: Samoa Joe To Be Shifted To Smackdown Live Before Wrestlemania
Feb 6, 2017 at 11:51 AM
The WWE Creative might have to start the Wrestlemania planning from the scratch after Seth Rollins suffered the serious concussions at the hands of Samoa Joe last week. Rollins is supposed to be sidelined for the next eight weeks.
This might be the reason the WWE has arranged an emergency meeting among the creative heads to discuss the alternative plans for Wrestlemania season. They are in search of the probable replacement of Rollins, who would take on Triple H in a dream match.
Prior to the Wrestlemania match, Rollins was supposed to take on Samoa Joe at the Fastlane PPV. Triple H would cost him the match to set up the final bout between him and Rollins at the biggest stage of them all.
With Rollins being shelved, there are no options available for Samoa, for now, and so he might be shifted to Smackdown Live. The original planning with Samoa was to make him debut against John Cena on the blue brand so that they can have a match at Wrestlemania.
The former WWE NXT champion was never officially contracted on Raw. He acted like a hired goon of Triple H, who was given the task of destroying Rollins. Now that he is done with it, it might be time for the Smackdown authorities who would come into play and sign the Samoan submission machine under their wings.
The WWE should give the brass heel a proper storyline to keep the momentum going in his favor which might not be possible if he remains on Raw. Hence, sending him to Smackdown would be a better idea.
