Universal King's Revengeance
Born and raised in Orange County he spent time during his childhood in ʻEwa Beach, Hawaii, where his family founded a Polynesian dance troupe called Tiare Productions. Before becoming a wrestler, Seanoa worked as a mortgage broker.

Joe signed with former WWF developmental affiliate Ultimate Pro Wrestling, where he feuded with John Cena. He tagged with Mike Knox at UPW and defeated the debuting Al Katrazz with Basil. He eventually captured the UPW Heavyweight Championship, and became the longest reigning UPW Heavyweight Champion.

Joe joined Ring of Honor as Christopher Daniels's "hired assassin", brought in to take out Daniels's chief enemy, Low Ki.

Joe signed a contract with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. He made his official debut five days later at the Slammiversary pay-per-view, defeating Sonjay Dutt in a match that saw him dubbed "The Samoan Submission Machine". Joe, sporting a new buzzcut hairstyle, tribal facepaint, and much heavier frame stated this was the "real" Joe, and presented his "nation of violence". Later, Joe got himself disqualified against his old rival and Main Event Mafia member Scott Steiner. That same week, Joe once again got disqualified in a match with Sheik Abdul Bashir. He took him backstage, hung him upside down, and tortured him.

Joe made his debut for the Mexican AAA at Rey de Reyes, where he teamed with Konnan and Ron Killings as Team TNA in a four-way twelve-man tag team match, which was won by Octagón, La Parka and Vampiro. Joe, A.J. Styles, Homicide and Low Ki defeated Abismo Negro, Charly Manson, Electroshock and Histeria, and then in a six-man tag team match, where he, Styles and Low Ki defeated the Mexican Powers (Crazy Boy, Joe Líder and Juventud Guerrera). Joe returned when he represented La Sociedad in two six man tag team matches. First at a AAA television taping he, L.A. Park and Scott Steiner defeated Dr. Wagner, Jr., Electroshock and El Zorro, and then he, Silver King and Último Gladiador were defeated by the team of Drago, Electroshock and Heavy Metal.

On WWE, Joe defeated Bàlor, Rollins, Reigns, and Wyatt in an Extreme Rules to become the #1 contender to Universal Championship. The following night on Raw, Joe confronted Paul Heyman, choking him out with the Coquina Clutch as a message to Brock Lesnar. Joe would unsuccessfully challenge Lesnar for the Universal Championship, and Joe faced Reigns to determine the next number one contender for the Universal Championship, however, the match would end in a no contest after Braun Strowman interfered and attacked both men. Joe, Reigns and Strowman all challenged Lesnar for the title in a fatal-four-way match.

The Extra OVA
The next day after winning the title by pinning Reigns, while announcing that he would not give the title easily. In the middle of his speak, Tre suddenly appeared trying to pass security, and Joe decided to humour him. Walking into the stage, he said he just "wanted to greet him", infuriating Joe and challenging him to a match, but Tre asked for a title match as he was being forced, which Joe accepted with the ego of winning it still in his head. Using his signature Coquina Clutch, Tre accidentally reversed it into a pin, which left Joe dumbfounded enough to be pinned. Tre ran with the title as Joe furiously ran behind him. Tre's next title match, Joe interrupted before he lost by choking Brock Lesnar 's manager Paul Heyman, forcing him out the ring and attacking, DQing Tre and keeping his title, announcing that only THE Samoa Joe would be allowed to take it from him. Next title match against Braun Strowman, despite being banned from the building he hacked the main screen to informing that he was at Braun's hometown to see his father's great batting skill, and that he was about to show him "his own bat skill in the parking lot", causing Braun to head for Joe and to be DQ by count-out. On Tre's third attempt, despite being in an empty arena match, he had hidden himself under the ring all night an came out with a bat, but Strowman knocked him out and won the title. He went to confront Tre backstage, but was stopped by security, and GM Randy Orton fired him on the spot.Joe was consumed by revenge and even went to Germany to install a bionic arm, enduring the pain, only to take what was his, and the opportunity finally presented itself 7 years later: when Brooklyn Von Braun became GM, Joe presented himself as an assent to help in her plans against Red & Tre, and during the final Bo5 match of Tre for Red's title defense, Joe appeared and attacked Tre, making him lose and Red lose her title without being pinned. Later on Tre's title match against Adam Cole, he knocked both out and made Tre win, infuriating both wrestlers just so he could steal Tre's title. On Tre's HiaC rematch, he shut the door, hitting an escaping Adam Cole, but Tre hit Samoa with the door from outside stunning him enough for Red to call security to interfere, so he could win the match properly.

During his very anticipated match with Tre, he knew all along he was going to attempt to exploit his weakness, and instead fixed his move and choked Tre to fainting, after the match applying a "Bionic Slam" completely devastating Tre....when both Red and Brooklyn knocked each other down, Samoa Joe headed to be the "winning edge", but Tre stopped and brawled him. Tre was beaten down as he wasn't a match for Samoa's bionic punched, but Tre lead the fight to the parking lot, and with a lucky punch stunned Samoa Joe enough to lock him in a car's trunk, containing him. While the match was on at least...

When Tre is leaving the Hall of Fame, he takes him hostage while Red fights and advices to not close or he'll break his neck. After the fight he throws Tre down the platform.

During The Final Showdown, even with the devastating blows from his bionic arm, he was surprised when Tre used his own Coquina Clutch against him.

Season 4
His quest for vengeance wasn't over. After discovering he was alive, he followed Tre into TFR, and he's decided to destroy him once and for all.
