Samoa Joe acknowledges gift from AEW boss Tony Khan

At AEW Worlds End PPV, Samoa Joe beat MJF for the World Championship. This victory by Joe was a massive change in the company since MJF had been champion for quite a while. However, Joe becoming the World Champion wasn't the only change that took place in the Jacksonville-based promotion.

One notable change that took place after Samoa Joe won the title was the look for his title on Dynamite. The Samoan Submission Machine thanked his bosses for this gift and mentioned the title wasn't going to go anywhere for a long time. Joe said:

"That was done on my behalf, and it is a wonderful piece of gold from the Khan family. It’s not going anywhere for a long time, so that’s to let everyone know who the champion is."

Further, Joe also spoke about why the belt needed a change. He said:

"It’s my championship belt under my reign, so it needed to reflect my values. The belt was very fancy looking before. My belt belongs among kings and queens, not looking like it’s going to be paraded around the Hamptons on the weekend."

While the title change has been liked by AEW fans, it will be interesting to see how long Joe can keep his belt. Given the number of stars in AEW, the champ will have quite the time defending his gold.
