WWE star MVP has praised AEW talent and current Ring of Honor World Television Champion Samoa Joe.
Following his WWE departure in January, Joe returned to Ring of Honor at this year's Supercard of Honor XV. Shortly afterward, Tony Khan announced that he had signed the former NXT Champion to AEW.
At the recently concluded Double or Nothing pay-per-view, Joe competed in the inaugural Owen Hart Foundation Tournament final. However, the former WWE star lost to another former NXT Champion, Adam Cole.
Taking to Twitter, MVP claimed that Joe is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. He wrote:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Random thought... Samoa Joe is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time! All time. I said that. Carry on..."

"I love Samoa Joe, a very good friend of mine. I think Joe is one of those people that just wherever he winds up, it's to their success. He's just a star... Just so happens to be a really good person who has great ideas and knows the business in and out. There's no one like Samoa Joe. He is very original and I'm very proud of what he is doing and anything he does, I support him." (7:52-8:20)
