Samoa Joe made his return on the January 15th episode of AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage, saving HOOK from an attack by Christian Cage, Nick Wayne, & Kip Sabian.
Christian, Wayne, and Sabian were seemingly setting up for the con-chair-to on HOOK when Joe's music hit.
Joe, with help from Katsuyori Shibata, took out The Patriarchy and sent them packing.
Samoa Joe is back!
