Samoa Joe recently shared information about injuries he sustained during filming. The former AEW champion was taken off TV at the Texas pay-per-view last month due to an injury angle, allowing him to focus on promoting the second season of Twist Metal, where he plays a character with a sweet tooth.
In an interview with Pwin Cedar to promote the new season streaming on Peacock, Samoa Joe revealed that he actually got hurt while on set. He explained, “I broke my ankle midway through the season, and nothing went crazy. Then I had to push myself back onto the rough, cracked asphalt after twisting my ankle, taped it up, and managed to finish the season despite the pain.”
Joe described Twist Metal as an intense physical series with many fight scenes but mentioned that the physical demands weren’t unfamiliar to him given his extensive wrestling career. He also updated fans on his wrestling comeback, reassuring them that the injury won’t keep him sidelined for long and he plans to return once he clears the necessary medical protocols.
Fan Take: This update is significant for AEW fans because Samoa Joe remains a key competitor whose presence adds weight to the roster. His resilience and swift recovery could bring even more exciting matches and storylines, benefiting both the sport and its passionate audience.
