Samoa Joe To Return On AEW Dynamite

For the first time since AEW All In, Samoa Joe will be back in the ring. He’ll team with Powerhouse Hobbs & Katsuyori Shibata against LFI (The Beast Mortos, RUSH, & Dralistico) in a trios match.
Joe was taken out by the Death Riders at All In. After The Opps successfully defended their AEW Trios Titles against Gabe Kidd, Claudio Castagnoli, & Wheeler Yuta, the Death Riders wrapped a chair around Joe’s neck and stomped down.
He was stretchered out of the stadium as a result of the attack.
