Granted Joe’s star had fallen a lot in WWE by the time Bloodline got going. But I think an argument could have been made for Roman and Heyman wanting to recruit him in the bodyguard/enforcer role. Though I think it would have made a better scenario for a short title program; Roman and the Uso’s trying to recruit Joe on the basis of Samoan heritage, but inadvertently insult him instead, leading to Joe facing off with Roman. And even if Joe had joined his membership likely would have been brief, I think both he and WWE had cooled off on each other a lot.

Joe is somehow the only Polynesian in pro wrestling not related to Afa, so no. Sorry Joe, but your pops should have met Afa and claimed membership. lol

Joe would've been a good antagonist to Roman, accusing him of using his family and heritage to manipulate his relatives into becoming his goons.

Before Solo he could've been in the role of heavy and eventually got tired of following orders and turned on Roman leading to a feud.
After that terrible Roman/Joe PPV main event from 2018 though that had fans leaving the arena in droves I'm not sure that's a well they would go back too although maybe with the alignments switched it would be better.

Not the Bloodline, but definitely the Buffetline.

One of my favourite things about Joe was him being the only notable Samoan wrestler not associated with those families at all

If only there were a certified Ucologist we could consult on the matter.

I don't think it'd have been a fit even outside of him not being related to them. Any time TNA put him in a subservient position to someone else, it always came off like a poor fit.
Now, I could have maybe seen something like Roman and Samoa Joe having some temporary "truce", but it'd have dissolved eventually to build a title match or something, probably.

No. I would hate Joe to just be a guy in a faction that revolves around someone else.

Yeah, Joe I think would have been better in a role similar to what Owens is doing against them right now, but with the added factor (even if they didn't ever explicitly say it) of being a successful Samoan WITHOUT nepotism attached to his success. This is assuming he didn't have any issues with injuries like he had in his WWE run, which at least thus far in his AEW run has only happened once.

Nah, Joe's character is too proud to be subservient to another. Even on commentary he made snide remarks about Roman being the Tribal Chief.

Joe would have made a great foil. He wouldn't have made sense in the group itself.

Joe would've been a good antagonist to Roman, accusing him of using his family and heritage to manipulate his relatives into becoming his goons. Which was clearly the original type of direction they were going with in the original Jey vs. Roman feud ... before they just reverted to Roman is just indestructible with no weaknesses. |

It'd probably have more to do with Joe being one of the only wrestlers of Samoan descent not having any sort of familial connection to the Anoa'i family. Pretty sure the post you replied to was a reference to a line from Scott Steiner about Samoa Joe where he referred to Joe as a "freakin half breed". |
