Samoa Joe Returns to AEW Dynamite

Samoa Joe made a highly-anticipated return to AEW during the January 15 episode of Dynamite, saving HOOK from an attack by The Patriarchy, which included Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, and Nick Wayne. Joe's comeback was met with excitement as he cleared the ring, marking his first appearance since July when he was written off following a brutal match against Chris Jericho. His absence was due to filming for the second season of the Peacock series 'Twisted Metal,' where he portrays the character Sweet Tooth. In addition to Joe's return, Megan Bayne made her AEW debut during the women's Casino Gauntlet match, which was won by Toni Storm. Joe's return sets the stage for potential high-stakes matches and rivalries, particularly with Jericho. Fans are eager to see what lies ahead for Joe and the new dynamics in AEW.
