In an interview with PWInsider.com, AEW World Trios Champion Samoa Joe talked about several topics, including how he fractured his ankle while filming the second season of the “Twisted Metal” series.
This is what Samoa Joe said, “Normally, I would say the ring is always a much more precarious place to be in. But halfway through the season, I fractured my ankle. Nothing crazy — we had done a series of pretty crazy driving stunts and some dangerous things here and there. Then it was just parking, and I had to hop out the back on some really rocky, busted-up asphalt. I turned my ankle and spent the rest of the season taping it up and limping through it. Twisted Metal is incredibly physical — fighting scenes, driving scenes. Anytime that car is driving, you see me in it, it’s me. It’s a demanding role, but spending enough time in the ring as I have, it’s no new territory.”
On a potential return to AEW programming:
“Definitely sooner than later. We’re clearing our various medical protocols, and as soon as we’re done with that, we’ll be back to business.”
