This is Vince McMahon's way of showing Samoa Joe what he passed up by signing a 2-year TNA contract a few months ago. McMahon was heavily pushing for Joe to come to WWE and become a big time player in the company, but because of personal reasons, Joe turned it down.
Umaga's gimmick and nickname are direct references to TNA's Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe. It's the WWE creative team's way of showing that they know how to push that kind of gimmick.
Personally I think they're proving exactly why Joe made the right decision.
