Samoa Joe still has his sights set on the AEW World Heavyweight Title held by MJF
At AEW Dynamite Grand Slam on September 20th, AEW World Heavyweight Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) survived a tough challenge against Samoa Joe to retain his title. However, Joe isn’t done coming after MJF as he has stated multiple times in videos that have been shown on AEW television.
After Samoa Joe’s win over Tony Nese on Battle of the Belts, he delivered a promo message to MJF.
“MJF…tonight I bring you a gift, my friend. The gift of foresight and what you foresee is that I am coming for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship. Now Max, what you do with this gift is very, very important.”
“You can give me what I want, or Max, I can put you in a position where you are forced to give me what I want. Because I am Samoa Joe, the one true king of television, and I will be the next AEW World Heavyweight Champion!”
MJF is a busy man these days since he’s defending his Dynamite Diamond Ring against Juice Robinson this coming Wednesday on AEW Dynamite. MJF also has an AEW World Title defense against Jay White at Full Gear on November 18th. White has stolen the AEW World Title from MJF too, so Max is really looking forward to getting it back.
