Samoa Joe has reached a significant milestone in his reign as AEW World Heavyweight Champion, ahead of his next title defense.
Joe became World Champion by defeating MJF last December at the Worlds End pay-per-view event in Uniondale, NY, ending MJF’s 406-day reign as champion. Since then, Joe has defended the title against Hook on January 17th Dynamite, Adam Page and Swerve Strickland in a three-way at Revolution in March, and Wardlow on March 13th Dynamite.
Joe will defend his title against Strickland at the Dynasty pay-per-view event on Sunday from the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri. Based on the betting odds, Strickland is expected to defeat Joe for the title.
Joe achieved the milestone of holding the title for more than 100 days. He has held it for 110 days. MJF currently holds the record for the longest reign as World Champion.
Since AEW’s inception in 2019, the company has produced ten World Champions. Joe is currently the sixth-longest reigning World Champion, trailing Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega, Hangman Page, and MJF.
