Latest News about Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe returned to in-ring action at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam France in Paris, his first match since the Double or Nothing event in May. He defeated Jack Perry with a Muscle Buster from the top turnbuckle, becoming the first wrestler to qualify for the eight-man Clockwork Carnage match for the AEW World Championship. That match is scheduled for AEW WrestleDream on 17/10/2026.
Samoa Joe announced on the May 27 episode of AEW Collision that he would step away from AEW for several months. He cited Hollywood commitments, as he was scheduled to film the third season of Twisted Metal, in which he plays the character Sweet Tooth.
Samoa Joe returned to AEW Dynamite on April 22, 2026, after being medically cleared to compete following a period of absence. Tony Khan announced the clearance ahead of the show, marking Joe's comeback to active competition after he was placed in concussion protocol due to a non-contact injury.
