Samoa Joe Shocks AEW Fans with a Huge Return During Dynamite

Samoa Joe is back! After months away from AEW television, the former AEW World Champion made his highly-anticipated return during a chaotic segment on the January 15 episode of AEW Dynamite.

The Patriarchy was in full force, beating down HOOK after his disqualification victory over Christian Cage. Just when it looked like HOOK was outnumbered and in serious trouble, Samoa Joe’s music hit, and the crowd erupted.

Joe stormed the ring, laying waste to The Patriarchy and forcing them to flee before they could inflict further damage. The moment was electric as Joe reminded everyone why he’s one of AEW’s most dominant forces. This marked Joe’s first appearance since July, when he was written off TV after a brutal Canadian Stampede Street Fight against Chris Jericho.

Joe’s absence was due to filming for season two of Twisted Metal on Peacock, where he plays the physical role of Sweet Tooth. With the project now wrapped, Joe is back and ready to reclaim his spot as one of AEW’s top stars.

The question now is: what’s next for Samoa Joe? With unfinished business against Chris Jericho and a new dynamic in AEW, Joe’s return opens up endless possibilities for high-stakes matches and intense rivalries.
