Going into the bout, Joe is making the media rounds and he spoke with Adrian Hernandez about his in-ring future among other conversational topics. Joe feels he definitely has more than a handful of good years left in him before he steps away from the ring.
Oh no, I’ll probably stop (wrestling) way before then (his body tells him to stop). I’ve been really, really fortunate. When I came off the concussion, I took two years off to really get everything back in order and in that time too, just in the recovery process, really changed a lot of my training and changed a lot of things around that have benefited me to a great amount health-wise and I feel good right now. As far as where the train will end, I’ll let it play out a little bit more but I will say this, I definitely have more than a handful of good years left in me and beyond that, I’m excited to… if we are gonna go out, we’re gonna go out with a bang so, it’ll be interesting to see how these next few years play out.
Joe’s opponent at Worlds End, MJF, spoke about his contract status with the company and claimed he has yet to sign a new deal ahead of the January 1st, 2024 expiration date.
