Folks, gather ’round because we’ve got a young buck, Hook, the current AEW FTW Champion, stirring up the rumor mill like a whirlwind. This hotshot might just be looking to pack his bags and test the free agency waters later this year, and the wrestling world’s all abuzz.
According to the scoop from “SEScoops,” it’s not set in stone that Hook will hang his hat back at AEW when his contract winds down. Heck, there’s even chatter from a WWE insider hinting that the big dogs over at the WWE are licking their chops at the chance to add Hook to their roster. Now, wouldn’t that be something? If he jumps ship, he’d be following in the footsteps of some big names like CM Punk and Cody Rhodes who’ve crossed over from Tony Khan’s playground to WWE.
Hook, who stepped into the AEW spotlight in 2020 with his old man, the legendary Taz, has been doing more than just turning heads. He’s been smashing expectations, climbing up the ranks faster than a squirrel up a tree. The young dynamo even snagged himself a nifty catchphrase, “Send Hook,” that’s got fans hollering at every match.
Currently, Hook is holding the FTW Championship belt for the second time, having wrestled it away from Jack Perry at last year’s All In. This kid’s not just a flash in the pan; he’s been duking it out with the best of them, including a high-stakes match against the AEW World Champion, Samoa Joe. Sure, he didn’t snag the title, but he put up a fight that’d make a bulldog proud.
And let’s not forget, this youngster’s been rubbing elbows with some of the greats, even teaming up with WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam and currently sharing the ring with none other than Chris Jericho.
So, as we watch this saga unfold, one thing’s clear: Hook’s future is as wide open as the Montana sky. Will he re-up with AEW, or will he take his talents elsewhere? Stay tuned, because this is one storyline you don’t want to miss!
