Samoa Joe Reflects on Wrestling Career

Samoa Joe, currently absent from AEW due to filming for the second season of 'Twisted Metal', recently sported a bald look at a fan convention, a change attributed to his role as Sweet Tooth. In a recent Q&A session, Joe reflected on his career, emphasizing the brilliance of NXT's strategy to change titles during live events, which he believes made matches more exciting and interactive for fans. His first NXT Championship victory over Finn Balor in 2016 at a live event is highlighted as a pivotal moment, contributing to increased attendance and buzz around the brand. Joe's journey through wrestling includes significant stints in Ring of Honor and TNA, before his impactful run in WWE, where he became a three-time NXT Champion. After two firings in a single year, Joe transitioned to AEW, where he captured the AEW World Championship last December. While he plans to address his rivalry with Chris Jericho upon his return, fans will have to wait until he completes his filming commitments.
