Christopher Daniels Shares His Pride for the Success of Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, & Frankie Kazarin

AEW producer and coach Christopher Daniels shared a throwback photo on social media, showing himself along with AEW World Champion Samoa Joe, WWE World Tag Team Champion AJ Styles, and TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian at a past ROH event. Daniels highlighted how of the four men in the photo, three of them all currently hold titles in their respective promotions.

Christopher Daniels wrote, “As of today, the three best wrestlers in this picture hold championship gold in their respective federations, after years of honing their skills around the world against the best competition anywhere.” He added about himself, “The fourth guy is proud to have shared the ring with them & see their success.”

Samoa Joe won the AEW World Title last weekend at AEW Full Gear 2025, beating Hangman Page in a Steel Cage Match to win the belt. Meanwhile, Kazarian finally won the TNA World Title earlier this month on Impact, cashing in his Call Your Shot contract to beat Mike Santana on TNA Impact.

Styles currently holds the World Tag Team Titles with Dragon Lee. They won the belts last month on WWE Raw. Daniels previously teamed with both Kazarian and Styles, holding tag team gold with both wrestlers.

AJ Styles is also a former WWE champion, and the wrestler recently confirmed that he plans on retiring from the ring later next year. Daniels was also one of the signature rivals to Styles and Samoa Joe during their careers. You can check out the photo that he shared below:
