Daniel Bryan: Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura should be on the main roster right now

WWE SmackDown Live general manager Daniel Bryan recently spoke with Michael Cole for the weekly WWE.com interview.

Bryan was asked about Brock Lesnar’s attack on Randy Orton as well as on SmackDown Live commissioner Shane McMahon at this past Sunday’s SummerSlam pay-per-view event. Lesnar defeated Orton by TKO and busted him open. McMahon walked down to the ring to stop Lesnar and Lesnar hit him with an F5. Bryan explained that he wishes he were cleared to compete so that he could wrestle Lesnar.

Cole asked him about Finn Balor’s shoulder injury and him giving up the WWE Title. Bryan believes that Balor should’ve been called up to the main roster a year-and-half ago.

“The most tragic part to me is that it happens as soon as he gets up here. One of the things that really upsets me about the whole situation is Finn Balor should have been up here a year-and-a-half ago.”

Bryan said that he understands that NXT is a very important part of WWE and that the company wanted Balor to get used to the WWE style but feels that Balor would have learned the style in six months.

Bryan also feels that Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura should be on the main roster. Bryan noted that they are both in their prime and instead of being in NXT right now, they should be on the main roster.

“The longer we wait, the more bumps they take, the more bruises they get, the more susceptible they are to injuries.”
