During a recent appearance on the “Zaslow Show,” AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May named Samoa Joe as her favorite wrestler.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On who she enjoys watching: “Definitely not any of the girls. The only girl I like to watch is myself on playback. But if I had to pick one of the guys, I mean, my favorite’s probably Samoa Joe, who I miss. I miss him. Where is he? I think he’s just real. I think he’s so real, every promo he does.”
On Joe’s real and honest style: “I’m not one for nonsense and dreams and fantasies, I say it how it is. I think Samoa Joe, people hated him, they love him now, but he’s someone who just says it how it is. Even the way that he wrestles, it’s so real, it’s so honest. I like that. I like that kind of stuff in a world of nonsense and everybody playing dress up, I like Samoa Joe.”
AEW posted a video featuring Deonna Purrazzo engaging with Ched-Z during the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl this week. The game saw the University of Illinois football team face off against the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Purrazzo tackled the mascot and pinned it down, as you can see below:
