Taz just named dropped a huge WWE SmackDown star at AEW All In. These two men have worked together in the past.

Paul Heyman is a legend in the professional wrestling business. He gained a lot of traction during his days running ECW. The promotion became wildly popular for its edgy style and the extreme nature of the in-ring action.

The promotion produced several major names in the wrestling industry such as Rob Van Dam, The Dudley Boyz, Tommy Dreamer, among others. ECW also introduced the controversial FTW Championship. The title was defunct until Taz revived it in AEW a few years ago.

Tonight at AEW All In, Chris Jericho is set to defend the FTW Championship against Taz's son, Hook. Before the main show could start, the ECW legend was on the Zero Hour show where he discussed the rivalry between Jericho and and the 25-year-old.

Taz also spoke about the origins of the FTW Championship. During this time, he mentioned that it was he and Paul Heyman that came up with the concept of the title. The wrestling legend was visibly upset that Jericho had rebranded the title as the 'For The World Championship.'

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
