Samoa Joe Says AEW Collision Will Create More Opportunities In AEW, Teases A Confrontation With CM Punk

Samoa Joe comments on how AEW Collision will benefit the AEW roster.

Speaking with Evan Mack on The Kick Rocks Wrestling Podcast, Joe was asked about the addition of AEW Collision. Joe seems poised to be a significant member of Collision’s roster and has even been rumored to be CM Punk’s first feud upon his return to the company.

“Obviously it’s exciting to add another show to the lineup for AEW. Doing Saturday night wrestling, I mean, obviously if the TV model was anything like it has been in the past, I would kind of believe some of those comments. But it’s a very different world and a very different environment. I think Saturday nights are a really great night. I’ve always enjoyed events that I’ve seen on Saturday nights. To have the opportunity to kind of give a lot of the AEW roster to kind of give a lot of the AEW roster that maybe doesn’t get enough time throughout the week and showcase a lot of the talent that we’ve had, and I think that’s a valid criticism. When you look at the AEW roster, you see the tremendous, talented athletes, there’s almost not enough time to see them all. I think AEW Collision will be able to definitely expand the fan experience as far as the wrestlers that you get to see,”

“More shows create more opportunities, absolutely. I think this is definitely an example. I think for years, people have been saying they wanted to see more and different talents on AEW, and some talents have more of a chance to be showcased in a longer format, and I think Collision is gonna definitely offer up those opportunities, as well as bringing your favorite AEW stars to one more night a week,”

“I know I’m gonna be there. Anybody else in Chicago wants to show up and got an issue, they can be there too, but we’ll find out,”

We will have to wait and see if CM Punk steps up to Samoa Joe on the debut episode of AEW Collision on June 17th.
