5 Dream Matches for Samoa Joe in AEW

#2. Samoa Joe vs. MJF in AEW

Samoa Joe has plenty of history with a lot of AEW stars. While his story with CM Punk is well known and well documented, there is some backstory with one of the biggest heels in all of professional wrestling, MJF.

During his time in WWE, MJF worked as an extra. One of his roles involved being part of Samoa Joe's security. The former IMPACT World Champion shoved the Salt of the Earth while walking backstage, which has now become a viral meme.

MJF has acknowledged the video in the past, and should Samoa Joe join AEW; it will be the perfect catalyst to start a feud between the two.

The promo battles between the two would be legendary, and MJF is also a solid wrestler to ensure that the match's in-ring aspect will be fantastic.

#1. Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk in AEW

Samoa Joe and CM Punk's series of matches in 2003 and 2004 changed how independent wrestling was perceived. It allowed the likes of Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Cesaro to become household names on national television. If Joe were to join AEW, Tony Khan absolutely needs to reignite the rivalry.

Joe and Punk had two 60-minute time limit draws before the former finally put the latter away in an iconic trilogy of matches. The Second City Saint has never beaten the Orange County-born powerhouse in singles competition. The story is ready-made, and all we need is the #AllElite graphic for Joe, and everything can be in motion again.

The target audience of AEW will highly appreciate the final chapter of Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk. Both men fighting on national television to close out their rivalry would be a fitting end to one of the greatest professional wrestling stories ever.
