Samoa Joe wins the United States Championship
You know, I’m going to look back on R-Truth’s brief United States Championship reign with a significant amount of fondness.
He gave us a comedy with the schtick about idolizing his childhood hero John Cena. He gave several different wrestlers storyline progression. And most importantly, he gave us some really fun matches. This show’s fatal four way was probably the best of the bunch, too.
R-Truth gave another open challenge that was answered by Samoa Joe, Rey Mysterio, and Andrade. The latter two obviously had a score to settle from how the match played out last week. Joe, however? He’s always been known for his plots and schemes; did you really expect him to pass up an opportunity at a championship?
Honestly, Joe’s built for these multi-man matches. Ever since he signed with WWE, I’ve enjoyed his multi-man matches more than his singles matches and he’s such a perfect addition to what Mysterio and Andrade already have going on. He also had a fantastic run in this match trading offense with R-Truth. And in the end, Joe finally got his first championship on the main roster.
Joe also had an interview backstage that was notable for a few reasons. Firstly, he said he doesn’t “pander to the unexceptional” which is just a dope line. To piggyback on his line, Joe’s absolutely exceptional when it comes to the trash talk and, well, talk in general.
Secondly? He started throwing some shade Cena’s way. Hmm...I wonder where that might go?
