Samoa Joe is at his best when he is portrayed as a remorseless killer of an athlete, punishing his rivals with brutality and ferocity and leaving them in a heap.
Wednesday night, he delivered a sneak attack on NXT champion Shinsuke Nakamura that left the titleholder in need of a stretcher and, in the process, earned "biggest winner" status for the broadcast.
The heel turn did wonders for Joe, who was a bland babyface going nowhere fast prior. It has allowed him to reintroduce his vicious and vile ways to the wrestling world and given his character renewed life.
