And new!
On the April 13 episode of AEW Dynamite, Minoru Suzuki defended his ROH World Television Championship against Samoa Joe. The NJPW legend won the belt from Rhett Titus on April 1 at ROH Supercard of Honor. Joe also made an appearance at the end of that event, where it was later announced that he had signed with AEW.
In what was an unsurprisingly hard-hitting affair, Samoa Joe defeated Minoru Suzuki after hitting a Muscle-Buster for the three-count. His celebration, however, was short-lived as Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt came out and delivered the present they promised Joe last week. The lights then went out and when they came back on, Satnam Singh was in the ring and attacked Joe. The former basketball player has been training under Dutt and along with Lethal, stood tall over Joe to end the show.

A former ROH World and Pure Champion, Joe was inducted into the promotion’s Hall of Fame in 2022. This is his first time holding the ROH Television Title. He ends Minoru Suzuki’s time with the title after just under two weeks.
