Tony Khan makes a big announcement regarding AEW star Samoa Joe

Tony Khan has announced Samoa Joe's next course of action before his bout for the AEW World Title. He will compete next week on Dynamite.

On Dynamite: Beach Break on May 14, The Samoan Submission Machine will be challenging Jon Moxley for the gold in a steel cage match. Things have been heated between the two, with Moxley and the Death Riders going as far as taking out two members of The Opps. Katsuyori Shibata was their latest victim.

Tony Khan has given Samoa Joe a chance for retribution by putting him in a match against Claudio Castagnoli on Dynamite next week. Joe will look to gain all the momentum he can before he takes on Moxley.

"#AEWDynamite Detroit, MI 8pm ET/7pm CT on TBS + Max This Wednesday Night, 5/7! @SamoaJoe vs @ClaudioCSRO After the Death Riders’ attacks on @730hook+ @K_Shibata2022, The Opps aim for payback in Detroit when Joe fights vs Claudio Catagnoli on Dynamite THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT!" Khan announced.

He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
