"I never got a really clean crack" - Samoa Joe teases match against former WWE Champion in AEW
Samoa Joe already has a list of who he wants to face if he decides to go to AEW in the future.
In a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, the former NXT Champion named two current AEW stars he would love to face. The Samoan Submission Machine wants to compete against up-and-coming star Powerhouse Hobbs and former WWE Champion Jon Moxley.
Speaking about Hobbs, Samoe Joe stated that the young AEW star is full of potential and has a promising future ahead.
"He’s a guy, I think he’s really impressive and I think he has a lot of ceiling he hasn’t even begun to reach yet" said Joe.
Meanwhile, the former world champion also revealed his intentions to face off against current GCW World Champion Jon Moxley:
"I never got a really clean crack at [Jon] Moxley. I think Jon’s a guy who I’d love to be in a program with at some point wherever it may be so, and I mean those are kind of the two guys that stick out off the top of my head." - Samoa Joe said.

Samoa Joe didn't rule out a potential stint in AEW while being open to working with other wrestling companies.
He was released by WWE last year, then re-hired, then released again in January. He is a former two-time NXT Champion and also served as a talent scout in his second stint with the company.
"…I’m open to whatever opportunity. Obviously, at this point, I’m blessed enough that I get to make decisions, and I get to work on some things outside of wrestling. Which is a rarity when you are this far in and committed to the business." said Joe. (H/T Sescoops)
The Samoan Submission Machine is a free agent and it's fair to assume any company would be happy to have him on its roster."
