Samoa Joe remains one of the top stars in AEW after returning to AEW television a few weeks ago. The Samoan Submission Machine became the TNT Champion a while ago and has been a defending champion since. In fact, Joe is set to defend his title in a huge match in less than two weeks now.

On the December 16 edition of AEW Rampage, Samoa Joe simply said that he has no intention of defending in Texas, where the December 21 and December 23 AEW Holiday Bash episodes of Dynamite and Rampage will be held.

It was then announced during the show that Samoa Joe will be defending his TNT Championship against Wardlow on the December 28 AEW Dynamite New Year’s Smash event.

Samoa Joe has been feuding with Wardlow for the last few weeks and their feud has been getting intensified every week. We will have to wait and see whether Joe will be able to retain his title at AEW Dynamite New Year’s Smash on December 28th.
