Former World Champion Makes Surprise Return On AEW Dynamite

Welcome back. There are various reasons for wrestlers to leave their promotion for a little while, some of which are far more positive than others. You will see wrestlers go away for more than a few reasons, but thankfully most of them get to come back for a special moment. That is what we saw this week, though it might not have been the way you were expecting.

Samoa Joe made his surprise return this week on AEW Dynamite, joining Katsuyori Shibata to save Hook from Christian Cage and the Patriarchy. This was Joe’s return after taking a leave of absence from AEW last summer to film the Twisted Metal series. Joe was written off of AEW TV by an attack at the hands of Chris Jericho. It is not clear when Joe will return to the ring.

Opinion: This is where things get interesting, as having a former World Champion return is always going to be a big deal. Joe is someone who can make quite the impact no matter what he is doing and that is what we are going to get the chance to see. This should open up a chance for Joe to go after Jericho again, but first he has something else to do for a nice bonus.
