Claudio Castagnoli: Samoa Joe Doesn’t Want My Attention, We’ll Have A New World Champion If We Meet
Claudio Castagnoli comments on possibly facing Samoa Joe.
Claudio Castagnoli is a former ROH World Champion and has been a featured star on AEW television since he debuted in the company at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2022.
Speaking to Mark Hoke on the Mark Hoke Show, Claudio was asked about a potential run at the AEW World Title.
“It would mean a lot. That’s what everybody works towards, to be the world champion. I’m just working, being patient, maybe too patient. I think that chance will hopefully come my way and I’ll grab it. I’d be a tremendous representative for the company and be a great world champion. Right now, Joe is the champ, it’s funny, he hasn’t mentioned me of the people who hit the hardest. I think he doesn’t really want to get my attention, which I understand.
“I want to get Samoa Joe’s attention. I don’t know if he wants my attention. We’ve tangled once or twice. It was fun. I think that match is one that never really happened in Ring of Honor when we were both there, it happened maybe once in WWE. I think we’re due for another one. It would be great. We’ll have a new world champion, too.”
Joe and Claudio (Cesaro in WWE), had a handful of matches in WWE, last meeting as part of the 2019 King of the Ring tournament.
Claudio has never defeated Samoa Joe.
