On April 21, the WWE concluded their tour of South Africa with a show in Johannesburg. WWE fans in South Africa were overwhelmed with emotions that they had a chance to see their favorite superstars live, and some even had a chance to meet them. Rumors are currently circulating that Samoa Joe will be returning to action later this month at the Greatest Royal Rumble, but unknown to many, he made his in-ring return during the WWE’s tour of South Africa.

As Sportskeeda reported, on Friday, in Pretoria, WWE superstars Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman squared-off in singles competition. As expected, “The Monster Among Men” received a huge pop from the WWE fans in attendance in Pretoria. Reportedly, the match between Joe and Braun was very physical, and fans would have it no other way. In the seesaw match, it was Strowman who was declared victorious. As seen in the Twitter video below, after the match, Strowman ripped off his shirt and gave it to a fan in the front row.

But that wasn’t the only action these two would see together. Per Wrestling Inc., Samoa Joe teamed with Alias to take on the unlikely team of Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns in Johannesburg on Saturday. Just a handful of weeks ago, the WWE universe witnessed Strowman destroy Reigns on Raw. But funny things happen when the WWE travels overseas, like two bitter enemies tagging together. Reigns and Strowman defeated Samoa Joe and Elias.
