At AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage on January 15, Samoa Joe would return to AEW after a lengthy stretch out of action due to filming for season 2 of Twisted Metal. Joe would return to ally back up with Katsuyori Shibata and HOOK against Christian Cage and The Patriarchy.
While speaking to Front Office Sports in a recent interview, Tony Khan discussed Samoa Joe's return.
"We had Samoa Joe filming a project with Twisted Metal. So now to get another former world champion who's one of the great stars and a huge box office draw and one of the great, great people in and out of the ring and a top man, Hall of Fame legend, Samoa Joe, him back too. So it's like a real perfect time for us because we have all these top stars coming back and we've had all these top stars like you asked about, that have really risen to the occasion."
