Kurt Angle thinks WWE could have done more with the Ring Of Honor Television Champion.
During his tenure in WWE, Samoa Joe would hold the NXT Championship and the United States Championship in WWE, challenging for the WWE and Universal Championships several times.
However, Kurt Angle does not think that was the most Joe was capable of in WWE. Speaking on The Kurt Angle Show, Angle discussed how WWE used Joe.
I think that WWE could have done more with him. They did do some, they did a lot, but I know they could have done more. He was that talented. I’m not sure if it had to do with his look. I love his look. I think that everybody should be different; big, tall, short, wide. Doesn’t matter. I don’t know if it had to do with his look, but Samoa Joe was so talented. He deserved to be a WWE Champion, he really did. Probably and that’s not me blowing smoke, that’s me being honest.”

Joe is currently the Ring Of Honor Television Champion and is set to battle his old foe CM Punk in the semi finals of The Owen Hart Foundation tournament.
We will have to wait and see if AEW will use Joe better than WWE did at this stage in his career.
