Pwinsider is reporting that Scott D’Amore was backstage at this week’s AEW Dynamite TV tapings. As of this writing, there’s no word on whether he was just visiting or if something else is in the works.
Samoa Joe made his return on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, saving HOOK from an attack by Christian Cage, Nick Wayne, & Kip Sabian.
As Cage, Wayne, and Sabian were going to attempt a con-chair-to on HOOK, Joe stormed to the ring and took out the Patriarchy faction with some help from Katsuyori Shibata.
Samoa Joe is back!
