AEW wrestler Hook to make GCW debut in June
Over four years into his pro wrestling career, Hook has appeared almost exclusively for All Elite Wrestling. But he’s going to be competing for a major indy in the state of Ohio soon.
Game Changer Wrestling has announced that Hook will be making his debut with the promotion at Race Against Time. The event will take place at 8 p.m. Eastern at the 20th Century Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Friday, June 19.
Also advertised for the show: VNDL48 (the stable of Atticus Cogar, Otis Cogar, and Christian Napier), Joey Janela, Jordan Oliver & Alec Price, Billie Starkz, and Vipress.
Hook debuted for AEW in December of 2021. Per Cagematch, he has wrestled only two matches outside of AEW. One of those—a win over Ortiz—was a dark match for Ring of Honor, effectively AEW’s developmental territory, last December. The other came in January, when he defeated Leo Sparrow at the Limitless Rumble, a Limitless Wrestling event in Lewiston, Maine.
Hook has not wrestled on AEW television since January, when he teamed with Powerhouse Hobbs in a loss to Adam Page & Swerve Strickland in a lights out match on Dynamite. Since then he has been seen in a series of vignettes trying to keep the Opps running after Hobbs’ departure and Samoa Joe’s injury. Joe returned to action on Dynamite this week, and embraced Hook after his match.
