Real Reason Samoa Joe Moved To SmackDown
…as his former NXT Championship foe Samoa Joe is now also on the brand.
Joe was arguably the most surprising move during last week’s Superstar Shake-Up, mainly because his already-announced Backlash match against Roman Reigns was one of Raw’s only actual established feuds since WrestleMania.
But PWStream is reporting Joe’s feud with Reigns is precisely why he was moved to SmackDown:
Per source: Samoa Joe moved to #SDLive to avoid Reigns. The two will have a match soon, however following that, Reigns, as expected, will be running #Raw. As such, Joe wouldn’t be a pivotal part of the show. WWE want him to play a big role — he wouldn’t be on Raw, hence the move.
