Samoa Joe Says He’ll Likely Retire When AEW Contract Ends

He frames the decision around preserving his health after more than 25 years in the ring.

Overview

  • In new interviews, Joe said he is "most likely" done wrestling once his current AEW deal expires.
  • He offered no target date and suggested his exit could be a quiet, unannounced departure rather than a formal sendoff.
  • He left open the possibility of continuing if unusual opportunities present themselves.
  • No contract end date has been disclosed, leaving the timeline for a potential retirement uncertain.
  • He remains active at the top of the card, set to challenge "Hangman" Adam Page for the AEW World Championship at WrestleDream 2025 in St. Louis.
