Samoa Joe teases return at AEW All In
Just a few weeks away, former World Champion Samoa Joe has now teased his return at arguably AEW’s biggest PPV.
Absent since AEW Double or Nothing 2026, Joe is currently missing from his in-ring duties due to his Hollywood commitments. However, recently speaking with Joel Pearl of Fightful Overbooked, Joe was asked about his return status.
Without brushing aside the chances of an AEW All In return, Joe instead decided to tease it. “Time will tell. We’ll see. We’re close to the end of production out here for Twisted Metal. We’ll see how the dice rolls.”
As of now, there are no confirmed updates on Joe’s return to the promotion at AEW All In London 2026. The 47-year-old last performed at a PPV in London was at the 2025 AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, before which he was also at the 2023 AEW All In.
Samoa Joe addresses the need for honest people in the wrestling locker room
During a recent edition of Dark Side of the Ring Q&A on Vice TV, Joe addressed the requirement for honest people in the wrestling locker room over self-appointed leaders.
“Being a locker room leader, I think leader is a weird term. I think there are certain people whose opinion people value. If I happen to be one of those people in the locker room, awesome,” Joe said.
“I’m never one to force my opinion on everybody, but if you ask for it, I will state it, and you can do what you want with it. I think just having, not leaders, but honest people in your locker room is very valuable. I just try to maintain that, if anything.”
