Has Hook really been suspended from AEW?

AEW star Hook is one of the youngest stars on the roster and has received a lot of praise from both fans and peers alike for his in-ring abilities. However, it was recently announced that he has now been suspended. So, is this a storyline, or is it true? The short answer? No.

AEW's internal issues have become a matter of public discussion since CM Punk and The Elite got into their infamous backstage brawl at All Out 2022. The stars were then promptly suspended, and since then, other tussles have been made public, leading to more suspensions.

Following their storyline during the latest edition of AEW Dynamite, Stokely Hathaway revealed that Hook had been suspended. He added that the youngster would be subjected to an investigation after he laid hands on the manager.

While the star is likely waiting to return to the ring, Tony Khan has faced a lot of criticism from names like Konnan for his booking decisions of the FTW Champion. Could Khan be using the odd feud to help elevate the second-generation star before he moves on to other AEW championships?

Hook's father, ECW and WWE legend Taz, has since reacted to his son's AEW suspension

The Cold-Blooded Handsome Devil, as his father Taz often calls him, has quite a bright future ahead of him despite not being the best on the mic. However, a feud with Stokely Hathaway will surely elevate his mic skills and take him closer to the abilities of his legendary father, Taz.

Since his son's alleged suspension, Taz has taken to social media to let Stokely Hathaway know exactly what he thinks of him.

"This bag of bulls**t has HOOK suspended," Taz tweeted.

It's currently unclear when Hook will return to AEW programming, but at this stage, the storyline is still developing. There will likely be a future segment where the young star will show up regardless of his kayfabe suspension.
