Bryan Keith wants a one-on-one match with former AEW World Champion Samoa Joe.
Bryan Keith sits under Chris Jericho's Learning Tree on AEW TV. AEW is home to multiple legends, and Keith has already gotten to work with names like Adam Copeland, Bobby Lashley, and more.
During an appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Keith was asked who his dream opponent would be on the AEW roster. He named Samoa Joe as one opponent he would like to wrestle in a singles match.
"In AEW right now, there's so many guys, literally, so many guys. I feel like almost everyone you could go against. If I was to go against Swerve, or if I was to go against Danielson, both of those matches are matches that can be seen as like, 'Okay, this guy's going to go in there and prove himself.' But there's one that just stands out above them all for me. It's really because of the influence and me just watching this guy for so long, and just literally, as far as me becoming a better wrestler myself, and doing tape study, and just watching this person for so long, it's in my number one as far as matches that I need, and that person will be Samoa Joe," he said. "I know that's random. I know it's a tall order, but when we talk about guys that [are influential] guys, he's up there. He's one of the guys I'd watch all the time. That's a guy that I'd love to work with. So, yeah, Samoa Joe's up there for me."
Asked if he would want there to be any stipulation on the match, Keith explained he wanted to be a straight-up one-on-one.
"I need that one-on-one, man. I'm not a stipulation guy," he said. "I want to see how this goes, raw, straight-up, see how it goes down. So, you know, I think that'd be sick.
Samoa Joe is never one to back away from a fight. Currently, he is in a trio of his own alongside HOOK and Katsuyori Shibata, The Opps.
