It looks like Samoa Joe was not in the mood to mess around at Smackdown tonight. Joe was scheduled to have a match with Mustafa Ali but decided to brutally assault Ali when he was in the middle of his entrance. Samoa Joe vowed to take everyone out that gets in his way at the Royal Rumble. You can see the attack below.
Samoa Joe was interviewed after and said that he will enter his first Rumble match and win it. He wants to make it clear to the other 29 superstars that he will treat them all with the same amount of respect that he treated Ali with.
Looks like @SamoaJoe just sent a message of his own to @MustafaAliWWE… #SDLive pic.twitter.com/f5Jr8Mjujf
