This injury angle was done because Joe is going to be off AEW programming for a while because he landed an acting role.

According to Deadline, Joe will be playing the dual role of Sweet Tooth in Peacock’s Twisted Metal series.

Below is the description of his character:

“Sweet Tooth is described as a hilarious and terrifying hulk of a man, who is as emotional as he is cunning.

A lover of chaos, this majestic rage-filled killer dons an ever-smiling clown mask and uses ‘Lost Vegas’ as his own personal kill-ground, all while he drives his infamous doomsday ice cream truck.”
