Samoa Joe ROH TV title defense set for AEW Collision
A new title match has been confirmed for this Saturday’s AEW Collision.
AEW has announced that Samoa Joe will defend his ROH Television title against Willie Mack on Collision this Saturday night (October 14). Mack, who regularly competes for ROH, will be wrestling on AEW television for the second time ever.
Mack lost to Brian Cage on an episode of Rampage this January. He’s also had three matches on AEW Dark/Dark: Elevation in the past.
Joe has made 14 successful title defenses since becoming ROH Television Champion. He defeated Minoru Suzuki for the title in April 2022.
At Dynamite Grand Slam last month, Joe unsuccessfully challenged MJF for the AEW World Championship. In recent vignettes, Joe has said he’s still focused on winning the AEW World title. Joe stated that his ascension toward greatness begins on Collision this Saturday.
"I am the #ROH World Television Champion, the King of TV and soon to be #AEW World Champion" – Samoa Joe.
