Samoa Joe is undoubtedly one of the most talented and accomplished pro wrestlers in the history of the pro wrestling world and his time in WWE has been a great one, which has seen Joe win the NXT Championship and also titles on the main roster.
However, Samoa Joe suffered some serious injuries that have set back his time in the ring as he has not competed inside the squared circle since February of last year.
One of Samoa Joe’s best feuds in WWE was undoubtedly against AJ Styles, as the two fought over the WWE Championship a few years ago.
While speaking to Ryan Satin on Out of Character, Samoa Joe revealed that he loved putting the Coquina Clutch on AJ Styles the most because Joe loved smelling his hair.
“I’ll say AJ [Styles] because AJ always has impeccably smelling conditioner in his hair. It’s always very pleasant for me. I get a little lavender, a little lilac with my pain and agony. It’s a rare thing, you don’t get that combination and you can’t buy that in the street. It’s a specialized and happy experience and I get to enjoy it every time I wrap my arms around AJ’s neck. He’s number one. You can’t beat that. Sometimes, the shea butter, I’m not a big fan when he puts that in his hair, it doesn’t have the same scent. When he goes lavender or when he goes to the body shop and gets the good stuff, trust me, it’s a great night for me. When I’m driving home at night, I don’t feel so bad about all the horrible things I did to the people I care about. It’s part of the whole ecosystem that I live in.”
We will have to see how Samoa Joe will safe in his new role as an enforcer in WWE NXT. It is likely he’ll be choking out many people once again once Joe is medically cleared to compete.
