Current AEW star knew long ago that Roman Reigns would be “The One”

A current AEW star stated that he knew long ago from his time in WWE that Roman Reigns was "The One".

Samoa Joe signed with WWE in 2015 and quickly rose to prominence when he won the NXT Championship. Joe would go on to dominate NXT for a number of years before being promoted to the main roster.

His stint on the main roster was hurt by injuries. He spent most of his time on the shelf or on commentary. It was hard for WWE to rally behind Joe due to his injury-prone nature. However, during his time there, he notice one important detail.

Speaking to Metro, Samoa Joe revealed that he knew Roman Reigns would be "The One" based on his time in WWE.

"Just understand that a lot of what you see today, I saw back then and knew it was inevitable. That's the biggest thing that I can take away from Roman and being in the ring with him, I realized that, yep, this is gonna be the one." He added, "I knew it just took time, and him doing his thing, and then finally getting the opportunity to be something that he's more comfortable being. And there we go!" [H/T WrestlingInc.]
