Top AEW star Samoa Joe has been sidelined with an injury, removing him from the active roster for the foreseeable future. On the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, commentator Excalibur informed fans that Joe suffered a non-contact injury during training and is currently not cleared to compete.
No further update was given regarding a timeline for his recovery or when he might return to the ring. Joe had been heavily involved in the AEW World Title picture, targeting champion MJF after losing the belt to him in a four-way match at Worlds End that also featured Swerve Strickland and Hangman Page. The Samoan Submission Machine last wrestled on the January 12th episode of Dynamite, where he secured a victory over “Speedball” Mike Bailey.
