Samoa Joe Reveals Vince McMahon’s Reaction To His Commentary

Samoa Joe has created quite the legacy for himself as an in-ring performer, but he’s currently working as a member of the commentary team on Monday Night Raw.

The former United States Champion permanently took Jerry Lawler’s position, and he recently appeared on The Bump to talk about his current role with WWE.

During the interview Samoa Joe noted that he didn’t have any media aspirations, but he and Vince McMahon both agree that something feels right about the shift to commentary.

“I’ve had zero media aspirations. I just drift through life, and things just hit me as they come. I got on the commentary table – it was funny when the light shined on me, I started to hear the angels sing, I said to myself, ‘You know, this might be a good fit.’ I then put my headset on, and Vince [McMahon] came through and said, ‘You know, this feels right.’ I was like, ‘I know!'”

“It’s been a weird journey, but I’m still on it. It’s an odyssey and a quest. I’m just trying to take the world along with me. I have a very descriptive mind, you know, when I see things, my observations are quick to come right out of my mouth. So yeah, it’s been working out very well.”
