According to rumors, Triple H and the rest of the WWE management are keeping an eye out for a bright AEW prospect. It’s no secret that AEW and WWE are the two biggest wrestling promotions in America. However, fans frequently disagree about which organization’s merchandise they prefer. CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, MJF, and Adam Cole are just a few of the superstars on All Elite Wrestling’s roster, which has only been around for four years. Additionally, they have a wealth of young, talented in-ring talent that is just waiting to realize its potential.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels want to sign Hook

The fact that Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Shawn Michaels are interested in hiring him when they have the chance and that Taz is actively urging his kid to make the switch suggests that WWE officials are aware of this. In the AEW locker room, according to BWE, Hook is the “easiest catch” for WWE, and he might be the first of many to depart. 

Why Hook ? 

Hook has been an All Elite Wrestling star since 2020, but it appears that the “Cold-Hearted Handsom Devil” will soon be joining WWE. The biological child of the former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, who was first simply a silent member of Team Taz, participated in his debut match in December 2021 and has since amassed a 34-0 winning run. Once he defeated Ricky Starks for the FTW Championship in 2022, his fame grew even more. He has recently collaborated with artists including The Hardys and Jack Perry (performing as JungleHook). Considering the fact that he’s just twenty-four years old, his career success could continue for more than ten years as he develops as a performer.

AEW to WWE 

While a few wrestlers have alternated in between AEW and WWE, Cody Rhodes remains the greatest AEW departure. Early in 2022, the former TNT Champion and executive vice president Rhodes quit AEW. At WrestleMania 38, he rejoined WWE. He joined Seth Rollins’ team right away, missed several months of training due to a torn pectoral, won the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble, and faced Roman Reigns in the WrestleMania 39 main event (which he lost). 

Taz wants him to make the move 

Indeed, a Twitter insider claims that WWE is considering hiring Hook, with Triple H and Shawn Michaels both praising the young performer. Naturally, WWE has a history of valuing family ties, since Taz, the father of Hook, has previously worked for the company. Even Taz, who has been characterized as having “attitude,” is reportedly open to the change and wants Hook to make the leap, according to the story.

“Personally; I think Hook is the easiest catch for WWE at the moment. Taz wants him to go. HBK and H want him. I don’t know about his contract. But I believe he could be the first of many.” It’s interesting to note that many transfers amongst WWE and AEW may be anticipated going forward. We don’t yet know whether this precise transaction will take place or not, especially given how little is known about Hook’s AEW contract.
