Samoa Joe Talks Daniel Bryan’s Return, Blunt Interactions With Vince McMahon

Former NXT Champion Samoa Joe was recently interviewed by Al Arabiya to discuss the upcoming ‘Greatest Royal Rumble’ event. There, he spoke about Daniel Bryan returning to the ring, Vince McMahon and if he would be Braun Strowman’s partner at ‘WrestleMania 34.’

Joe first explains what his relationship with McMahon is.

“I’m terrible at small talk, so me and Vince’s relationship is—I don’t want to say dispassionate, but when we have talks, they’re very brief, short, we lay out a few things and I go from there. It’s not a lot of, ‘hey how are you doin’, how’s this, how’s that’. It’s calling the play, what do we need to get done, and I go out and get it done.”

Heading into ‘WrestleMania 34,’ we are still unsure as to who Strowman may be partnering up with. Joe was asked if he’d fill in the spot, with a hilarious answer as a response.

“Braun out here talking about how he doesn’t get along well with other people, but I’m terrible at it. That sounds like something that’s very enticing to the fans, but I’m sure two minutes in I’d be punching him in the head.”

Finally, Joe also spoke about Bryan returning to the ring after his 2016 retirement due to injuries.

“Obviously whenever you speak of people that you consider friends throughout your career, you always look upon that news with a little bit of trepidation, only because I care about Daniel Bryan’s well-being as a person. I would hate to see anything permanently bad happen to him. At the same time, I know he’s been fighting the fight really hard the past few years, and do everything within his power to medically prove that he’s capable and fit to compete in the ring. Knowing Bryan as long as I’ve known him, if he’s attacked that with the same ferocity that he’s attacked his abilities as a professional wrestler, I have no doubt that he’s ready to get back in that ring and I’m looking forward to seeing what he’s able to do.”
