Samoa Joe is getting prepared for his time in the Social Media Lounge.

Charly Caruso is with Samoa Joe in the Social Media Lounge.

The first question is why did he side with Triple H and attack Seth Rollins. Joe says that Triple H gave him the opportunity in the WWE. That opportunity was to take out Seth Rollins. Why are people mad at him for being able to succeed.

The second question is about how will he destroy Sami Zayn. Joe says he will punish Sami over and over until he cannot get up. Sami showed him no respect and he had to show Sami what happens when you disrespect him.

The final question is What is his plan for Wrestlemania. Joe says his presence will be felt at Wrestlemania. What he does at Wrestlemania will be revealed soon enough.
