The WWE Universe recently asked for a top AEW star to join the Stamford-based promotion and dethrone Cody Rhodes. The star being referred to is Hook.

The 24-year-old signed a contract with All Elite Wrestling in December 2020 and joined Team Taz, comprising Taz, Brian Cage, Ricky Starks, and Powerhouse Hobbs. He made a huge name in the pro wrestling world after winning the FTW Championship twice. His second reign ended at Dynasty 2024, as he lost to WWE legend Chris Jericho.

Following the match, a fan took to X/Twitter to discuss the prospect of Hook joining World Wrestling Entertainment after his loss to Jericho.
