Minoru Suzuki returns to AEW on Wednesday when he defends the ROH Television Championship against Samoa Joe.
Suzuki has previously wrestled Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, and Eddie Kingston in an AEW ring. He won the ROH Television Title from Rhett Titus at ROH Supercard of Honor, which is where Joe returned to ROH and officially signed with AEW.
Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Suzuki has promised pain.
“Many fans think this matchup is very special, but for me, I have to stay true to myself,” Suzuki said through a translator. “I am here to hurt people. The opponent truly does not matter. This week, I will make Samoa Joe suffer. People are brave until they step into the ring with me. Hopefully, Samoa Joe is not scared. I don’t know him well, but he will know me by the time we are done. I hurt people, that is what I do. Samoa Joe is going to feel a lot of pain.”
Suzuki mentioned that he is still with NJPW and has a goal of winning the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, which is currently held by Kazuchika Okada.
