AEW star Samoa Joe, who is currently on hiatus to promote the new season of his Peacock series “Twisted Metal,” has revealed that he suffered a fractured ankle during filming. Speaking with PWInsider, Joe explained that the injury happened in an ordinary moment on set.
“Normally, I would say the ring is always a much more precarious place to be in, but halfway through the season, I fractured my ankle. It was just parking, and I had to hop out the back on some really rocky, busted-up asphalt. I turned my ankle and spent the rest of the season taping it up and limping through it.”
Joe noted that while the role of “Sweet Tooth” is incredibly physical, his wrestling background prepared him for the grind. He also provided an update on his return to AEW television.
“Definitely sooner than later. We’re clearing our various medical protocols, and as soon as we’re done with that, we’ll be back to business.”
Joe was written off television with a storyline injury at the All In: Texas pay-per-view.
