Samoa Joe discusses his upcoming AEW World Championship match with MJF.
Back on the November 22nd edition of AEW Dynamite, Samoa Joe and MJF would agree to face off at AEW World's End on December 30th. Since then, Joe has appointed himself the protector of the world champion. While he has stepped in in several scenarios, Joe has made it clear why he wants MJF at one hundred percent for their world title bout.
While speaking to Niko Exxtra, Joe was asked what he was going to do to MJF when they square off at World's End, with the challenger noting that he will snatch MJF's soul at World's End.
"I think everybody knows what I'm going to do. I'm going to pummel him unmercifully, snatch his soul and beat him until he hands it to me and begs me to stop. I mean that is what's on the agenda but I said that leading into our last big televised event before we get into World's End. You know, we might start the party a little bit early if the opportunity presents itself."
Joe was then asked about how he has switched between a protector and attacker of MJF, with Joe remarking that a lot of people have trouble understanding the concept.
"A lot of people have a little bit of trouble understanding this concept but but I'll put it like this. MJF was victorious last time we were in his hometown, some dashley tactics were used but I respect the man's sigtuitiveness as far as wanting to get the job done. Now we're going back to his hometown I want the very best MJF there. I want the finest version of MJF to show up so that when I destroy him completely in front of all his friends and loved ones there are no excuses."
The two men have squared off once before on AEW programming, with Max choking out Joe at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam to retain his championship. Joe would vacate the Ring Of Honor TV Championship in his pursuit of the AEW World Heavyweight Championship.
Tony Khan recently addressed Joe vacating the TV Championship at the Final Battle Media Scrum. You can read more here.
