Recently, Samoa Joe and CM Punk faced off in the semi finals of the Owen Hart Foundation tournament, with Punk managing to win the matchup. Afterwards, Joe would attack Punk.
In a new interview with the Under The Ring podcast, Joe was asked if he ever expected to face off with Punk again.
“It’s really to be expected. I’ve found that throughout my career, the same cast of characters pop up. Punk is definitely in that realm of those cast of characters. To see us back in the ring against each other one more time, it’s no big surprise.”
“Just experience, a treasure trove of experience. When we first locked up, we were very new in the industry and still very much a journeyman learning. You never stop learning, but at the same time, we definitely knew a hell of a lot less back then.”

On the July 15 episode of AEW Collision, Ricky Starks defeated Punk in the finals of the tournament.
