At the AEW World’s End pay-per-view, a new era began. It was the era of the Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe. He defeated MJF to become the new AEW World Champion. Since capturing the title, there are a lot of wrestlers who want to take the gold away from Joe. One such man is Wardlow. Recently the newly crowned AEW World Champion shared his thoughts on Mr. Mayhem wanting to hold the top prize in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
Recently, the Samoan Submission Machine was interviewed by the New York Post. During the interview, Samoa Joe claimed that while he does see several wrestlers step up to him Wardlow isn’t one of them.
“It’s an adorable plan. It really is. I mean, I say a lot of crazy stuff too every once in a while that doesn’t mean it comes to fruition. Adam [Cole] made a bad deal. He couldn’t get the job done himself. Let’s face it, as devilish as he wants to be, he had his bone to pick and he has his reasons. All I know is it still took the champ to actually execute the plan. He can make all his innuendos. But all I have seen is other people challenge me, and Wardlow is nowhere to be found,” Samoa Joe said.

While speaking in the same interview, Joe also mentioned that not closing the show at World’s End and being supposedly overshadowed by the Devil doesn’t bother him.
“No, because I’m not a child. I’m the world champion. Oh, would you like me to go out and celebrate and go kiss a child maybe go run around in the bleachers? Is that what everybody missed? Was there supposed to be confetti and a big fireworks show and I high-five a bald eagle who is flying across in an F-14 jet? What soft-ass sorry stuff. The champion walked out of the building with the championship. That’s all you need to know. Unless that’s hard to comprehend. If it is, I’m sorry. I feel bad for y’all.”
