Samoa Joe thinks AJ Styles‘ tribute to him at WWE Crown Jewel was incredibly cool.
The Phenomenal One took on John Cena in their fifth and final singles encounter at the October 11 premium live event in Perth. At one point during the match, Styles performed Joe’s signature submission move, the Coquina Clutch, paying homage to his legendary TNA rival.
The Cena versus Styles match was brought up during Samoa Joe’s interview with CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri. Joe expressed his admiration for both WWE Superstars and noted how wonderful it felt to be a part of their big moment.
“It’s incredibly cool,” Joe said. “Both those men are people I have unyielding respect for. I’m so happy to see they’ve enjoyed the successes they have had in their life. It was wonderful to be thought of in their big moment.”
