Samoa Joe climbed the top of the mountain for the second time when he won the AEW World Championship at Full Gear 2025. However, recent events and a blockbuster return could possibly see the end of Joe's reign before it even began.The aforementioned return of a top star, who is a former AEW World Champion, is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, aka MJF. The Salt of the Earth has been absent since the All Out 2025 event and has been busy with his film commitments outside the Jacksonville-based promotion. However, a recent report stated that MJF could return in December sooner rather than later.During his absence, Samoa Joe dethroned Hangman Adam Page for the AEW World Championship in a Steel Cage match at Full Gear 2025, after HOOK turned heel and attacked Hangman with the title. However, Joe was immediately confronted by the returning Swerve Strickland, who aligned with Adam Page as Joe and his Opps members retreated.Strickland's return was a huge shocker for the fans, and AEW could continue the momentum on the upcoming edition of Dynamite with MJF's return, despite the chances being low, but still not impossible. Should the Wolf of Wrestling return, he could challenge Samoa Joe for his title. While The Opps would be expected to run interference, The Hangman and Strickland could combat their force and assist MJF in winning the World title from the Samoan Submission Machine.Samoa Joe broke silence after winning the AEW World ChampionshipSamoa Joe's major victory at Full Gear 2025 marked a turning point in his career.
