HOOK has declined Chris Jericho’s mentorship, setting the stage for a showdown at AEW Dynasty.
In recent developments, Chris Jericho has taken FTW Champion HOOK under his wing in an attempt to bring up his career. However, their partnership has hit a rough patch, leading to discord that resulted in a loss during a trios match on the April 10 episode of AEW Dynamite.
During the April 17 episode of AEW Dynamite, Chris Jericho and HOOK convened in the ring for a mediated discussion led by Taz.
Jericho expressed his frustration, stating that HOOK wasn’t heeding his advice as much as he anticipated, emphasizing himself as the “Learning Tree.”
He cited the transformative effect of the “Jericho Vortex,” claiming that everyone who had experienced it emerged improved.
In a decisive moment, HOOK rebuffed Jericho’s offer of guidance, asserting that he didn’t require his assistance. Jericho, addressing Taz, asserted that he was merely fulfilling his responsibility by offering guidance.
Tensions flared between Jericho and Taz, culminating in Jericho pushing Taz. HOOK intervened, affirming his independence and vowing to demonstrate his capabilities.
