Samoa Joe Explains Famous Push To MJF In WWE NXT

1 years ago By Sports Desk

In the ever-evolving world of professional wrestling, moments that blend reality with storyline can create ripples that become the stuff of legend. One such moment occurred during NXT in 2016, where Samoa Joe, took the wrestling community by storm when he pushed a young security worker, who happened to be none other than MJF.

This unexpected gesture not only added to the aura of Samoa Joe’s intensity but also introduced fans to the future star, MJF. Fast forward a few years and history seemed to repeat itself at AEW All Out. Here, the tables were turned as it was ROH TV Champion Samoa Joe who shoved AEW World Champion MJF during his ring entrance. This renewed interest and chatter around the push that took place years ago in NXT. It was only a matter of time before Joe would be asked to address this seemingly ongoing narrative between the two wrestlers.

Speaking to Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, Samoa Joe provided some clarity regarding this recurring encounter. According to him, the feud between him and MJF did not necessarily evolve due to their shared history of the push. Joe sees himself and MJF as individuals brimming with talent and charisma, which makes them naturals for stirring the pot and creating feuds, irrespective of past events. He recognizes the resonance the push had with fans and even mentions it being a humorous and iconic moment in wrestling history. Instead of resisting the narrative, Joe expressed his sentiment on embracing what people remember and cherish.

Diving into the past, Samoa Joe shed light on the specifics of the shove that took place in NXT. He described the moment as a blend of spontaneity and the nature of live television. As they were making their way down the hallway, MJF, in his role as a security worker, was perhaps a little too zealous in ensuring the pathway was clear. Samoa Joe’s response was instinctive, ensuring that he, as the champion, commanded the attention. The push against the wall was not just an assertion of his dominance but also a testament to MJF’s commitment to his role. The spontaneity of it all meant that the production team received the footage just moments before it was broadcasted, and given its unique appeal, they decided to run with it.

Such moments, which might seem inconsequential at the time, can often take on a life of their own in professional wrestling. The initial push at NXT Takeover Brooklyn II not only elevated Samoa Joe’s no-nonsense character but also provided an unforgettable introduction for MJF to the WWE universe. The recurring theme of these pushes further underlines the organic nature of wrestling, where moments of reality intertwine seamlessly with crafted storylines.

It’s evident that both Samoa Joe and MJF have grown as performers since their initial altercation. While the shove in NXT might have been the first memorable interaction between the two, their paths have since crossed on multiple occasions, with each encounter adding a new chapter to their intertwined legacies.

In the world of professional wrestling, the ability to blur the lines between reality and fiction is a coveted skill. Samoa Joe and MJF have consistently showcased this ability, be it through unexpected pushes or intense in-ring confrontations. As they continue to carve their niches in wrestling history, fans can only eagerly anticipate what the next chapter in their rivalry might bring.
