News On Why Another AEW Star Missed Fan Fest

Another AEW star missed yesterday's fan fest, but it's a much less controversial tale than the MJF story.

ROH World Television Champion Samoa Joe was, unfortunately, unable to appear at yesterday's Fan Fest event despite being advertised. This was apparently due to a mix-up in scheduling, according to Sean Ross Sapp from "Fightful", and Joe instead attended a voiceover session for a new project.

Joe is scheduled to face Adam Cole in the finals of the men's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament tonight, with the winner receiving the Owen Cup trophy awarded to them by Dr. Martha Hart, herself. Joe defeated Max Caster from The Acclaimed in the qualifying round, Johnny Elite in the quarterfinals, and Kyle O'Reilly in the semifinals to make it to the final round this evening.

Another AEW star that is making headlines this morning for his absence from AEW Fan Fest is MJF. The brash, loud-mouth star intentionally skipped out on yesterday's activities to play slots at the Mandalay Bay Casino. And though he didn't ultimately take a flight home, MJF apparently booked a red-eye out of the city in case he felt like going home early.
