Hook Regains FTW Title At AEW All In
Hook avenges the loss to Jack Perry
Aug 27, 2023
Hook is once again FTW champion, after defeating Jack Perry on the Zero Hour portion of AEW All In at Wembley Stadium in London.
After a wild, ringside-encompassing brawl, Hook choked out Perry with the Redrum to win the title for the second time. At one juncture during the match, Hook hit Perry with a fisherman's buster onto the windshield of a car that Perry made his entrance in. During the course of the match, Perry executed (or at least teased) several Rob Van Dam spots, including Rolling Thunder and the Van Terminator.
With the win, Hook avenges his only career loss to date, in a title loss to Perry on the July 19 "Blood and Guts" episode of Dynamite in Boston. Perry reigned with the title for 39 days in all.
Hook previously reigned as FTW champion for 357 days. He won the title from former Team Taz stablemate Ricky Starks on July 27, 2022 in Worcester, MA. Hook was the fourth Team Taz member to hold the belt, following Starks, Brian Cage, and his own father Taz.
