Samoa Joe Taking Time Off AEW To Promote Twisted Metal

An AEW champion is set to miss a little bit of time, as he has to promote his mainstream television project.

At AEW All In, The Opps retained their Trios Titles over the Death Riders. However, after the match, Samoa Joe was beaten down and stretchered off. We’re told there’s a reason for that.

Joe was scheduled to miss some time after AEW All In, as he’s set to do some promotion for the upcoming season of Twisted Metal. We haven’t heard a specific amount of time that he’s supposed to miss outside of it being at least a couple of weeks.

The new season of Twisted Metal releases July 31 on Peacock.
