AEW star Samoa Joe shares interesting details about his main goal in wrestling 

AEW star Samoa Joe recently divulged his primary aim when he takes to the squared circle.

Following a brief layoff with injury, Joe returned last night at the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view, defending his ROH World Television Championship against Jay Lethal. The Samoan Submission Machine retained his title after locking in the Coquina Clutch on The Franchise.

Ahead of the title defense, during an interview with Sports Illustrated, Joe claimed that winning championships will always be the number one accomplishment in the business.

The former WWE star emphasized that entertaining fans was his primary focus; if he did that, he had already achieved his goal.

“It’s the same goal it’s always been for me. Championships are a hallmark of this industry, and I’ll always appreciate them and never downplay them, but my litmus test for whether I’m satisfied is based around the crowd. If we’re producing content and people are being entertained, then I’ve hit my goal. I want people to be entertained. That’s my focus," Joe said.
