Samoa Joe update (Patreon)

Samoa Joe was not on AEW Dynamite on January 28.

There was a comment made on AEW Dynamite that Samoa Joe had sustained a non-contact injury and wasn’t cleared. However, Fightful is told that Samoa Joe has been in concussion protocol. It wasn’t known how long he’ll end up being out or the severity. 

Joe was factored in to the top of the card programs, especially surrounding the World Championship. However, plans were adjusted and Andrade ended up factoring in to those plans. We’re told those in AEW were happy with his performance and the reaction to him beating Swerve Strickland.

Hook was moved into the Opps leader spot for the time being.
