Top AEW star Samoa Joe says he has “more than a handful of good years left in him” ahead of his AEW World Title match at AEW Worlds End.
Samoa Joe has had a legendary career that has spanned three decades and multiple promotions, including WWE, ROH, TNA and AEW.
Since arriving in All Elite Wrestling, Joe has experienced a revitalization of his career with prominent feuds with Darby Allin, Wardlow and MJF after signing in April 2022.
In a new interview with Adrian Hernandez, Samoa Joe was asked how long he sees himself wrestling for. He answered:
“Oh no, I’ll probably stop well before then [before his body tells him he can’t do it anymore]. I’ve been really, really fortunate.”
“When I came off the concussion, I took two years off to really get everything back in order and in that time too, just in the recovery process, really changed a lot around in my training and changed a lot of things around that have benefited me to a great amount health-wise. And I feel good right now.”
“As far as where the train will end, I’ll let it play out a little bit more. But I will say this, I definitely have more than a handful of good years left in me.”
“And beyond that, I’m excited to — if we are gonna go out, we’re gonna go out with a bang. So it’ll be interesting to see how these next few years play out.”
Samoa Joe was forced out of action due to concussion-related issues in February 2020. He didn’t resume a regular in-ring schedule until arriving in AEW in 2022.
Joe is set to challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship on Saturday, December 30 at AEW Worlds End. For the full lineup for the event, click here.
