<p>Enter caption</p><p>S — Samoa Joe has been labelled as the dark horse in most of his matches this year and at Survivor Series he could just snatch up the victory

A smart competitor in an elimination match is a competitor, that has assessed the landscape of their challenge, repeatedly have formed strategies to outsmart their opponents and is resilient enough to outlast the rest of the combatants. That superstar is the last man left standing, he is the sole survivor. When taking the above characteristics into account, that competitor at Survivor Series 2017 is none other than, Samoa Joe.

The “Samoan submission machine” has been in the right place at the right time this year. Firstly, he cashed in his ticket to suplex city, by outsmarting four other competitors at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view. Joe then assessed his mammoth of a challenge against Lesnar and strategically planted doubt in “the beast’s” mind every week. And Joe has been resilient enough to hold his own against the likes of Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns in their epic wars for the Universal title. Therefore, Samoa Joe is the most ‘dangerous player’ in the men’s elimination match at Survivor Series 2017.

There are other strong possibilities for the title of sole survivor at the marquee PPV. The first choice would be the “monster among men” Braun Strowman. But since Strowman sent Kane through the ring this past Monday night on Raw, “the big red machine” will be out to cost Strowman the win. Also, the fact that Smackdown Live picked up the victory last year and that Kurt Angles job is on the line, Raw is more than certain to pick up this crucial win. And the man to do it is Samoa Joe.

Here are four reasons why Samoa Joe should be the sole survivor at survivor series 2017.

‘'The destroyer” Samoa Joe vs “the face that runs the place” John Cena is one of those dream clashes fans thought they would never witness inside a WWE ring. Both men have been World Champions and the ‘top dogs’ in their respective promotions for over the last decade.

Now that Samoa Joe has stepped into the company where Cena is the proverbial measuring stick, there is no reason that WWE cannot miss this tremendous opportunity to ignite this dream feud. And at Survivor Series 2017 is where this potentially heated rivalry must begin.

While WWE may present brand unity leading up to Survivor Series. They have cleverly insinuated that there are personal civil wars brewing beneath the surface between the superstars. Thus, WWE can easily have Joe and Cena be the last two men standing the ring representing their brands.

With the narrative of bragging rights at stake. After a back-and-forth teaser, Joe locks in the coquina clutch and secures a crucial victory for his brand. Which is the best possible outcome WWE can take advantage of. And present this rivalry of two different worlds colliding in a never seen before dream match. Also, this critical victory for Joe will allow him to re-enter a familiar scene…
