Samoa Joe Says The AEW Locker Room Has Never Been Tighter

Reigning AEW World Champion Samoa Joe had positive words about AEW's backstage morale. Speaking at the post-show media scrum following Sunday's Revolution pay-per-view, Joe explained:

"This is the AEW underneath my reign. As far as our locker room community goes, I don’t think it’s ever been tighter, I don’t think it’s ever been better. There’s an enthusiasm backstage that is infectious, and it’s because we have so much new, burgeoning talent. We have so many new opportunities to go out there and entertain the crowd with the people that we have at our disposal. There’s just genuine excitement among the locker room. It’s been a long time since this spirit has been felt here, and I’m very much looking forward to where this leads us in the future."

This comes in the midst of mixed news regarding the backstage atmosphere of the promotion. Last month, Dave Meltzer reported that morale was the best it had been in some time, but also that some talent remain frustrated with company president Tony Khan.

Joe successfully retained the AEW World Championship at Revolution, defeating 'Hangman' Adam Page and Swerve Strickland in the penultimate match of the night. The show was main-evented by the last match in the career of pro wrestling legend Sting, who teamed with Darby Allin to defeat the Young Bucks and retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship.

H/T to Fightful.
