In an interview with Case Lowe from Q101, AEW President and CEO Tony Khan discussed various topics. He revealed that Samoa Joe played a crucial role in preventing All In 2023 from falling apart just minutes before the show began. Khan also mentioned that this was the most stressful pay-per-view AEW has ever produced.
This is what Tony Khan said, “The most stressful pay-per-view is the first Wembley by far. Samoa Joe saved the day there. I think it was very good that Samoa Joe de-escalated the situation and also that Samoa Joe made sure that the fans got the match that they thought they had paid to see. He went out there, and everything was great, and he was such a professional. That exemplifies Samoa Joe in the ring and out of the ring, the most professional man. He was so great that day and so many other times. He’s one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met. What a leader Samoa Joe is in the ring and out of the ring. A captain, a true captain of a team, and I’m very blessed that he’s in AEW.”
