MJF vs Samoa Joe Main Event Added to AEW World’s End 2023 Card

MJF will defend his AEW World Championship against Samoa Joe to headline AEW Worlds End 2023 PPV card.
After Joe became MJF’s tag team partner for the ROH Tag Team Title match against The Gunns (Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn) at AEW Full Gear, MJF promised Joe a title shot in return. However, on November 22 AEW Dynamite episode, when Joe tried to claim his owed favor, MJF reneged on his word and disrespectfully told Joe to blow him.
Following Adam Cole’s reminder for MJF to honor his promise, MJF expressed his willingness to defend the championship on AEW Dynamite in the same episode. Surprisingly, Joe declined the opportunity, stating that he desired to face MJF at his best, preferring not to beat the injured version that stood before him.
MJF wants to fight Samoa Joe TONIGHT, but Samoa Joe declined.
