Hook has more potential than almost anyone else in his generation. He's over with the audience and his wrestling is coming along quite well. Combine that with being a second generation wrestler and Hook could become a huge star in professional wrestling one day. Will that be with his home company All Elite Wrestling? A new report from SE Scoops says that Hook may look to explore his free agency at the end of the year. You would have to imagine that WWE will be interested if that's the case.
WWE making a big play to get Hook not only gives them a potential future World Champion but more importantly, takes one away from AEW. The current FTW Champion has been in a program with legendary grappler and eight time World Champion, Chris Jericho. A lot of fans feel like shouldn't be involved with Jericho given his track record with younger wrestlers over the past couple of years. I mean, I don't hate the storyline. People online need to stop acting like Chris Jericho isn't one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.
Let's get back to Hook, would he actually go to WWE? I think he would. I know his dad Taz is working for AEW as a commentator but that shouldn't preclude him from going to WWE. Plenty of wrestlers have family in another company. Biggest example may be Cody and Dustin Rhodes.
I think the biggest question for Hook is whether or not he thinks the opportunity is better with WWE. WWE has a ton of young talent like Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes and Austin Theory to name a few. Would Hook would add to an already stacked roster as a wrestler with a ton of potential or would he get lost in the shuffle? Lexis King, the former Brian Pillman Jr is still looking to break out in NXT right now. It's a similar case for King as Hook. A second generation wrestler with potential that started off with AEW. King made the jump to WWE and he's being presented better than he was in AEW.
Or is it better to stick with AEW? A company that's invested in him, focused on him and given him opportunities to work with big names in wrestling. It could also be argued that Hook should be more of a consistent focus on their weekly programming. That he should be challenging for the TNT Title instead of continuing to defend the FTW Title.
Where do you think Hook should go? Would he get lost in the shuffle in WWE if he goes there? Will he ever breakout to be the main event player most think he can be? Give me your thoughts!
