Samoa Joe Vacates ROH Title

Samoa Joe, a celebrated figure in Ring of Honor history, recently made headlines by vacating the World Television Championship—an unexpected move that caught many by surprise. Citing the championship’s double-edged nature, Joe spoke candidly about his predicament during an interview.

Focus Shifts to AEW Championship

In his dialogue with “Niko Knows Best,” Joe stressed that the ROH TV Title presented obligations conflicting with his aim to secure the AEW World Championship. Evidently, his near-victory over MJF at AEW Grand Slam ignited an unwavering commitment to ascend to the pinnacle of AEW’s ranks.

Joe’s Thoughtful Decision

The decision to step away from the ROH title was not impulsive. Joe deliberated extensively, ultimately choosing to pave a clear path toward the prestigious AEW World Championship.
