AEW Fight Forever’s third DLC season pass began in February with the addition of currentAEW World Champion and Mogul Embassy leader Swerve Strickland.

Finally, Jamie Hayter was finally brought intoAEW Fight Foreverearlier this month after being off TV for nearly a year.

Those are fitting words to describe Samoa Joe, who has made his mark across promotions like WWE and TNA Impact Wrestling before debuting in AEW in 2022. As a result of his prolific in-ring career, Samoa Joe has beenplayable in countless wrestling gamesover the years, and like Claudio Castagnoli he was included inWWE 2K22despite his earlier departure from the company. He has recently developed quite the gaming resume outside of the virtual squared circle as well, serving as the physical actor for Sweet Tooth in the live-actionTwisted Metalseries before voicing King Shark inSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Samoa Joe has managed to land numerous championships in All-Elite Wrestling, making his initial absence from theAEW Fight Foreverlaunch rostera glaring omission for many fans.
