– Samoa Joe defeated Roderick Strong in their Owen hart Cup Tournament quarterfinal matchup on tonight’s edition of AEW Collision. However, it wasn’t enough for Samoa Joe to simply beat Roderick Strong. After the match, Joe had some words with his longtime rival, CM Punk, who was performing broadcast commentary ringside for the matchup.
Joe then grabbed a chair and threw it in the ring, hitting Strong with an Emerald Flowsion onto the chair. Punk then got into the ring staring down Joe as he left the ringside area as officials and medical staff tended to Strong.
Strong was then fitted with a neck brace and loaded onto a stretcher to be taken out of the arena. You can see clips of the finish and post-match aftermath below.
CM Punk will now face Joe in the semifinals of the Owen Hart Cup next week. Punk has never defeated Samoa Joe in a singles, one-on-one contest.
Local paramedics come to the aid of Roderick Strong after the vicious attack at the hands of Samoa Joe.
