FINALLY! Joe has made his main roster debut and is part of the RAW brand. My question to you guys is what brand would you have preferred him on? I see why they put him on RAW but it honestly seems like they're just hogging all the talent now. Balor, Owens, Zayn, Rollins, Joe, Reigns, Jericho, Sasha, Bayley, Lesnar, Cesaro and then Smackdown just has AJ, Cena, Wyatt, Ambrose, Orton.. They better get the next NXT call-up somebody like Roode or Nakamura. I would have preferred him on Smackdown Live honestly. I'm scared for him being on RAW.

I kinda wanted him on smackdown, but all the top stars there are heel aside from Cena and Ambrose (who are both just dicks), so he would've been missing opponents as soon as he was done feuding with both. I think Smackdown should definitely get Nakamura after Mania. I'm excited to see Joe v Rollins, Zayn, Reigns, Cesaro, Sheamus, even Lesnar or Braun with an allignment change.

I agree that Joe has better feud options right now on RAW, but I felt like Smackdown needed to build up their star power. They might get Tye but I doubt he is gonna to make an impact right away. |

Didn't bother me, just wanted him on the main roster ASAP.

SmackDown needed him more. They're severely lacking star power right now. But as usual, SmackDown remains an afterthought to the writers.

I'd rather him on smackdown, but the way they brought him in was great and I dont really care, at the moment, that he's on raw.

I don't really care, but I could see how Smackdown could have used an addition to their main event scene. Its been nothing but Cena/AJ/Dean since summer.
The one thing that does upset me, is its clear Joe is just being used in this storyline as a buffer for Rollins/Triple H holding out that feud until Mania. Joe vs. Rollins will be awesome but shouldn't be wasted on a one month long blow off feud before Rollins moves on to Triple H.

I think he would have been better on Smackdown. Sad that he is in a feud right off the bat where he is almost 100% guaranteed to lose at his first PPV though.

I think Joe will be fine. I've always thought that Samoa Joe would have fit in either brand. And like others said, him being HHHs muscle was a good way to bring him up.

I would have definitely preferred Smackdown, because I prefer Smackdown, but I'm curious where this leaves Joe after the Rollins match. I mean surely, they will do some kind of interference ending so that Rollins loses against Joe, getting Joe his debut PPV win, but then what does Joe do on Raw? A returning Finn Balor is about all I can come up with right now. Although, I have to question why Balor wouldn't return and immediately demand his title match.
We'll see. I'm glad Joe is up and I think Joe vs Rollins will be awesome. So it's just one step at a time right now. I think it's pretty clear that all of HHH's NXT golden boys are destined for Raw. 4/5 of the NXT 5 in Neville, Zayn, Owens, and Balor, Seth Rollins obviously, and now Joe. It's becoming a trend.

I had wondered briefly would he be brought in by HHH to destroy Rollins? But I actually dismissed it. Looking forward to some of their confrontations.....

My only concern is Mania. He will obviously fight Seth at Fastlane but what about a feud for Mania? It would be a travesty if he's either in the battle royal or ringside for HHH's match.

SmackDown needed him more. They're severely lacking star power right now. But as usual, SmackDown remains an afterthought to the writers. And yet it's still the better show. As for Joe, I wanted him on SD because I felt like he'd become an afterthought on Raw but I'm fine with this until the inevitable happens. |

I think he's okay on Raw for now.
I almost wonder if they might have a Draft directly after Mania. Don't get me wrong, I think it's too soon for a Draft, but it would shake things up, considering they do it right.
Some of the Draft's in the late-00's were laughable.
Back on topic, I just hope they use Joe to his full potential.
He's literally one of the best in the game, no pun intended.

I watch both, enjoy both, so don't really care. I'm just glad he's finally on the main roster.

It appears he's on Raw. Hopefully his push sticks after the Rollins feud.

SmackDown needed him more. They're severely lacking star power right now. But as usual, SmackDown remains an afterthought to the writers. They most certainly do not need him more. Smackdown is 2 hours and they don't even get to use everyone most weeks. They manage to put on an entertaining show every week because they make the most with who they have and get creative with them. Raw needs reasons for you to watch as it's 3 hours. The show is riddled with jobbers that have to be used to take up time on the show some weeks. Having another top tier talent on the roster to create feuds will help eliminate that. |
