WWE Superstar Samoa Joe recently spoke with Press of Atlantic City.
On veterans like AJ Styles and Bobby Roode joining WWE: âItâs no surprise to me. Itâs funny because itâs surreal how often I hear fans are surprised that in 2017 who would have thought, which is often a term that I hear used whenever you use any of those names in conjunction with WWE. It is definitely no surprise. The cream rises to the top. The very best of this business will find their way to the biggest stage and seeing all those guys now come to WWE just proves that theory and itâs awesome to see everybody up here with me.â
On his first WrestleMania: âI think any time youâre dealing with your first ever WrestleMania itâs equal parts thrilling and equal parts a lot of pressure to go out there and perform and deliver at the highest level. Pressure and performance have never been an issue with me. But with WrestleMania kinda being right around the corner, yea I can say I feel a little bit (of pressure).â
On his âDestroyerâ moniker: âI think itâs very, very perfect. I was kind of tasked with a mission, and whenever Iâve been given a mission at any point in my career Iâve fulfilled it. Right now, my mission is to run through the WWE roster, wreck as many people as possible in the most efficient fashion. Me being called the âDestroyerâ is a moniker I seek to live up to.â
Putting the roster on notice by going after Seth Rollins: âAbsolutely. Seth is declaring himself âThe Manâ and âThe Architectâ and I found a flaw in the blue print. (He) was a victim of that flaw. Thatâs the big thing. Whenever you show up anywhere and youâre looking to make a statement, you walk into the yard, you find the biggest guy in the yard and you sock him in the mouth. Seth happened to be that guy at the time.â
