Samoa Joe Returns At AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage

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!
