Samoa Joe talks being world champion ahead of his bout with Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title.
On this Wednesday's AEW Dynamite Beach Break special episode, Jon Moxley is set to defend the AEW World Title in a steel cage match vs Samoa Joe. This match comes weeks following Samoa Joe pinning Jon Moxley to bring the AEW Trios titles to The Opps.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated in a new interview, Joe spoke about his upcoming bout with the AEW World Champion this Wednesday night on AEW Dynamite.
“Expectation is always a wonderful thing. It's there for a reason. [Fans] know what they're getting with the two individuals involved in the match.” Joe said. “The steel cage is a [much] vaunted venue for destruction. I think Chicago's a great town to host it. And I think, if history is any indicator, it often repeats itself and more brutally every time it happens. People attach emotion, and a lot of feelings and thoughts to what they do. There's a simple edict in front of us, A lot of people say they wanna be World Champion, but what are you willing to do to be World Champion? And I've just always been resigned to do those things. I don't think Jon has seen a clearer vision of what his future looks like. Nobody has gotten their ass beat better than Jon Moxley? Well, Jon, guess what? Ain't nobody been better at beating your ass than me this coming Wednesday. I mean, it's like it's destiny.”
Samoa Joe has previously been AEW World Champion, losing the belt at AEW Dynasty 2024.
