Ricky Starks Provides Update On HOOK's Team Taz Status

While Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs have continued to team together, HOOK has very much been doing his own thing away from Team Taz in recent months and The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil has been aligned with Danhausen since before the Double Or Nothing pay-per-view.

This has caused some to question HOOK's status in Team Taz but Ricky Starks noted to Wrestling Inc. that the 23-year-old is still in the group. 

"HOOK is still a part of Team Taz. I mean, by proxy - his father. HOOK has also been busy with his own type of thing. I think that's what it is...It's just a matter of Danhausen being one of them, and two, he's kind of a lone wolf," Starks said. 

How long HOOK will remain a member of Team Taz is unknown, however, as The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil's allies in Starks and Danhausen will go one-on-one for the FTW Championship next week. The match came about on Wednesday's episode of Dynamite when Danhausen answered Starks' open challenge following Absolute's win over Cole Karter.
