In a recent interview with the Daily Star, Chris Jericho discussed his storyline with HOOK, noting that “The Handsome Devil” has improved dramatically over the last six months.
Jericho will defend the FTW Championship against HOOK this Sunday at AEW All In London 2024 at Wembley Stadium.
Jericho said, “The story we had this year, it’s been six months, and it’s been a good story. I’ve really enjoyed it with Samoa Joe and Shibata and working into the Learning Tree with [Big Bill and Bryan Keith]. We got a lot of people involved in the story and got a lot of people over. HOOK, the plan was for him to learn and to have a great featured role on Dynamite and AEW. Back in about May, I was like, ‘I wonder if we can make this to Wembley. I think we can. Let’s try it.’ Lo and behold, we did it. I’m really happy with everything involved. It’s going to be the culmination of this great story we’ve told.”
Jericho defeated HOOK in an FTW Rules match to win the FTW Title at AEW Dynasty 2024.
