Wrestling stars moving to the acting world is quite a normal thing nowadays. Be it a WWE superstar or an AEW wrestler, we often see them in sitcoms and films in some roles. We have majorly seen WWE stars in several acting roles, considering the company’s widespread popularity. Recently, a current AEW wrestler was cast in the series “Twisted Metal.” But much to the disdain of those in the AEW camp, he was credited as a WWE superstar in one of the promos for the series.

The wrestling star is none other than Samoa Joe who is currently wrestling in AEW. He features in the ‘Twisted Metal” as Sweet Tooth. The series is a live-action adaptation of a popular video game series that was first started in 1995 on PlayStation.
