At Summerslam, Samoa Joe wasn’t able to capture the WWE Universal Championship in the Fatal Four Way with Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and Braun Strowman. Unfortunately, Joe is not expected to remain in the Universal Title hunt, but WWE officials have huge plans for him.

It’s being reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that his tag team match with The Miz this week on Raw appears to be the beginning of a rivalry between the two men over the Intercontinental Title. For now, it seems the feud between The Miz and Jason Jordan is over. The latter said so himself on Raw.
As a result, it seems that WWE officials are planning Joe vs. Miz heading into No Mercy next month. There is already some speculation that if their rivalry happens over the next couple of weeks, Samoa Joe is expected to win the Intercontinental Championship from The Miz soon.
On paper, Samoa Joe and The Miz are both heels. Of the two of them, it seems Joe would be the one to turn babyface for the feud. However, the Brooklyn crowd got behind Miz on Raw, which may result in other crowds doing the same for him over the next couple of weeks.
The live audience was solidly behind both Miz and Joe. They were both cheered as if they were traditional faces..
Im a little shocked if it turns out to be true. I would expect it to be Cena vs. Joe and Roman vs. Miz for the Intercontinental.
