Tuesday, Ring of Honor released a promotional video announcing the return of former TNA talent Samoa Joe, who recently parted ways with Dixie Carter & Co. The video noted certain dates in March Joe would present, and the company has since gone further in-depth with a press release.
The release is as followed:
SAMOA JOE IS RETURNING TO ROH
Ring of Honor is proud of announce the return of the most dominant Ring of Honor World Champion in company history, Samoa Joe!!!
When you speak of legendary names in Ring of Honor one of, if not the first name mentioned in Samoa Joe. He made his debut in Ring of Honor in October of 2002. Within 5 months he would blow through the competition and win the Ring of Honor World Championship. He would hold the ROH World Championship for a record setting 645 days. His title reign would see him engage in legendary matches with CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Homicide and AJ Styles just to name a few.
“The Samoan Submission Machine” will return home to Ring of Honor Saturday March 7, 2015 in Baltimore, Maryland. Who will Samoa Joe be gunning for? Is ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe safe? Is ROH World Television Champion Jay Lethal safe? Is anyone safe? Who do you want to see Samoa Joe face in Ring of Honor?
Do not miss the chance to see a true legend in the prime of his career as Samoa Joe to returns home to Ring of Honor.
– Saturday March 7, 2015 Baltimore, Maryland
– Friday March 13, 2015 Milwaukee, WI
– Saturday March 14, 2015 Chicago Ridge, IL
– Friday March 27, 2015 Redwood City, CA
With his return announced, Samoa Joe and the world will without a doubt have their eyes set firmly on Ring of Honors 13th Anniversary Spectacular, live on Pay Per View this Sunday March 1, 2015.
Joe had previously not been confirmed for the March 1 date, but this certainly seems to tease he will be present.
There had been speculation WWE had been interested in Joe, with Triple H being a proponent of his work. However, nothing came to fruition evidently.
Editor’s Note
Joe should be thrust right back into the main event. He will be a draw for the company.
