Samoa Joe Returns At AEW All Out

Samoa Joe is back.

After Jack Perry defeated Katsuyori Shibata at AEW All Out Tailgate Brawl, he once again called out Samoa Joe.

Perry remained in the ring, wondering where Joe was, leading to HOOK, Anthony Bowens, and Action Andretti coming out. They stood on the ramp before Joe’s music hit, leading to the former AEW World Champion making his return.

Joe headed to the ring to confront Perry, who tried to shake his hand.

Joe initially walked away, but Perry turned him around, insisting Joe shake his hand. Joe shook his hand, then laid him out with a headbutt before leaving.

Insisting on a handshake? @SamoaJoe had something else in mind!

Perry has been calling out Joe for weeks, which led to the match against Opps member Shibata.

Joe has been off television since May, saying Hollywood was calling him at the time.
