Samoa Joe wants the gold.
On the September 6 episode of AEW Dynamite, Samoa Joe interrupted AEW World Champion MJF. Joe had shoved MJF at AEW All Out, and MJF took the fight to Joe until they were separated by security.
On Wednesday, Joe asked MJF what his problem was. MJF initially poked fun at Joe’s weight before he delivered a heated message. He recalled the time Joe shoved him into a wall when he was an extra in NXT. MJF threatened to send Joe back to NXT. He also told Joe that he would not cut the line, as the Grand Slam World Title Eliminator tournament would determine his next challenger.
Joe fired back by saying he would run through the tournament and get a title shot. He proceeded to attack MJF from behind. MJF fought back, as he hit Joe below the belt. Joe overpowered him and went for a Musclebuster, but Adam Cole made the save.
MJF stayed down, and he apparently re-injured his neck, which has been a factor since AEW All In. Doctors then helped MJF to the back.
