Samoa Joe recently spoke with The National ahead of Friday’s Greatest Royal Rumble event; you can read a few highlights below:
Samoa Joe comments on the ‘intriguing’ 50-man Royal Rumble match:
“Intrigued is the best word that I have to describe it. The audacity of the match if anything. That many people in a ring at once, and really the amount of time involved. If you are in from the start you are in for a marathon. I do think it will make for one wild brawl. It will be interesting to see how it comes up.”
On tactics ahead of his four-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship against champion Seth Rollins and fellow challengers The Miz and Finn Balor
“I think the best way to describe me is that I am a very simplistic individual. I believe that taking people to the ground and keeping them there is the best way to do it.
“A ladder match is always a wildcard and you always have to put yourself in the most precarious position in the match just before you try and win by climbing to the top of the ladder so it is always a wildcard match. I am more than convinced I will be able to climb the ladder and grab the title and become the new IC champion at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia.”

Samoa Joe says it’s only a matter of time before he holds gold in WWE:
“Since I’ve been on Raw I have hunted down and gone after every champion out there. I went after Brock Lesnar and the Universal Championship and I have gone after the IC Championship. It is an inevitability I will become a champion in the WWE. It is what I do. I go out there and people get out. It is is an inevitability.”
