The world of professional wrestling is abuzz with excitement as two-time WWE United States Champion, Samoa Joe, is set to make his highly anticipated return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) this week.
The Samoan Submission Machine has been out of action since April’s Dynasty pay-per-view event, where he lost his AEW World Championship title to Swerve Strickland.
This week’s edition of Dynamite will see Samoa Joe step back into the ring for the first time since his title loss, as he takes on Isiah Kassidy of the Private Party in singles action.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of the former World Champion, who has left an indelible mark on the world of professional wrestling.
In a recent sit-down interview with Renee Paquette, AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland had nothing but praise for his former opponent.
“A legend, a force of a champion…Samoa Joe just felt different. He felt like a titan,” Strickland said, adding that taking down the Samoan Submission Machine was no easy feat.
Since winning the gold at Dynasty, Swerve Strickland has been in action twice, successfully defending his championship against Claudio Castagnoli on the April 27 edition of Collision and defeating Kyle Fletcher in a World Title Eliminator match.
The new champ is set to be in action at Double or Nothing, with his opponent for the event to be revealed on this week’s Dynamite episode.
Samoa Joe’s return to AEW is a significant development in professional wrestling. As a two-time WWE United States Champion, Joe brings a level of prestige and experience to the ring that few others can match.
His match against Isiah Kassidy promises to be an intense and thrilling encounter, and fans will be eagerly watching to see how the former World Champion fares in his return bout.
With Samoa Joe back in the mix, the terrain of AEW has suddenly become even more exciting and unpredictable.
Will he be able to reclaim his spot at the top of the mountain, or will he face stiff competition from the likes of Swerve Strickland and other top contenders? One thing is certain – Samoa Joe’s return to AEW is an event not to be missed.
