Samoa Joe is set to return to the ring on AEW Dynamite.
Tony Khan announced that Samoa Joe will make his AEW in-ring debut on April 6 when he faces Max Caster. The bout will be an Owen Hart Tournament qualifier.
Joe surprisingly appeared at Ring of Honor’s Supercard of Honor event, and Khan subsequently announced that he has signed with AEW. This will be Joe’s first match since his WWE release in January. He hasn’t wrestled since NXT TakeOver 36 on August 22, 2021, as he was subsequently forced to vacate the NXT Championship in September.
The updated card is as follows:
- Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Qualifier: Samoa Joe vs. Max Caster
- ROH & AAA Tag Team Championships: FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) (c) vs. Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson)
- Tables Match: The Hardys (Matt & Jeff Hardy) vs. Butcher & Blade
- Adam Cole vs. Christian Cage
- Women’s Owen Hart Tournament Qualifying Match
