Samoa Joe Reveals He Fractured His Ankle During The Season Two Filming Of Twisted Metal

Sweet Tooth had an injury on set.

During his time away from All Elite Wrestling, Samoa Joe was on the set with Anthony Mackie and the rest of the cast filming Twisted Metal, which you can stream on Peacock. It’s based off the classic PlayStation video game where you have to fight to the death in a derby collision to get one lucky wish from Calypso.

However, during filming, Joe suffered an injury that kept him on the sidelines and he explained why to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.

“Normally, I would say the ring is always a much more precarious place to be in, but halfway through the season, I fractured my ankle. Nothing crazy — we had done a series of pretty crazy driving stunts and some dangerous things here and there. Then it was just parking, and I had to hop out the back on some really rocky, busted-up asphalt. I turned my ankle and spent the rest of the season taping it up and limping through it.“

Joe was recently written off TV following his match at AEW All In where the Death Riders stomped a chair on the back of his neck to keep him out of action for the foreseeable future.
