Nuufolau Joel Seanoa
Nuufolau Joel "Joe" Seanoa, better known by the ring name Samoa Joe, is an American professional wrestler. He signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in 2022, where he is a two-time AEW World Champion, two-time AEW TNT Champion, and one-time AEW World Trios Champion alongside Katsuyori Shibata and Powerhouse Hobbs. Debuting in 1999, Joe joined Ring of Honor (ROH) soon after its formation in 2002, going on to hold the ROH World Championship for a record 21 months from March 2003 to December 2004, as well as holding the ROH Pure Championship. At Slammiversary in June 2005, he joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he embarked on a 19-month-long undefeated streak that ended in a critically acclaimed feud with Kurt Angle. During his 10-year stint in TNA, he held the TNA World Heavyweight Championship once, the TNA X Division Championship five times, the TNA World Tag Team Championship twice, and the TNA Television Championship once. Joe signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2015, initially appearing on NXT where he became a three-time NXT Champion, clashing with Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura. He later won the WWE United States Championship twice and feuded with AJ Styles before departing the company in 2022.
