#1 Chris Jericho wants Samoa Joe in AEW

The rumors and speculation regarding Samoa Joe's possible AEW debut just don't seem to die down.

Several fans and pundits are still shocked over WWE's decision to release Samoa Joe as the former WWE US Champion is one of the most complete performers in the business.

It didn't take time for the 'Samoa Joe to AEW' rumors to kick off, and many All Elite personalities have since commented on the potential signing.

During a recent interview with the New York Post, Chris Jericho revealed that he would love to see Samoa Joe in AEW. The Demo God stated that he'd never wrestled Samoa Joe in a proper pay-per-view match. Jericho said the clash has all the potential to be a show-stealer at a major PPV.

Jericho felt that the possibilities for Joe in AEW were endless, and he would love to see the former WWE star in an AEW ring somewhere down the line.

"Obviously, the one name that stands out as an established main-event heavyweight champion guy is Samoa Joe. Those guys have three months before they can go anywhere. But I'd love to see Joe in an AEW ring at some point. That's another dream match if you want to go there. I've never (wrestled him). I think we had one little, three-minute sh*tty little match on Raw, and it was just kind of thrown away. And I didn't want to do it because I said this is a pay-per-view match, but that's the WWE style. I think Joe and Jericho, Joe and Omega, Joe with Cody, Joe with put name here is a money match," said Jericho.

Samoa Joe will be eligible to sign up with another company after July, and AEW seems like the ideal destination for the 42-year-old star.
