The intense feud between HOOK and Chris Jericho has been brewing for months ever since the young upstart rejected his offer for mentorship under his ‘Learning Tree.’ Last week on Dynamite, the fans saw the return of HOOK after Jericho took him out with a fireball attack a few weeks ago.
On the August 14 edition of AEW Dynamite, The cold-hearted Handsome Devil came to the ring for interview with Tony Schiavone. HOOK revealed that he cannot see from one eye after Jericho’s attack, but still wanted to get his hands on The Learning Tree and win back his FTW championship on Dynamite
Chris Jericho came out with his faction members, Big Bill and Bryan Keith to address the challenge. While he declined to face HOOK this week, he proposed to accept the title match challenge for AEW All In under two condition.
The first one would be that should HOOK loses to Jericho in Wembley Stadium, this would be the last time he challenges for the FTW title. Second, he would battle one-on-one against Big Bill next week on the first edition of AEW Dynamite from Cardiff, Wales.
HOOK did not flinch even once, and accepted Jericho’s offer, setting the stage for a highly anticipated rematch at AEW All In between the heated rivals.
