Tonight’s AEW Dynasty event in St. Louis, Missouri delivered a fiercely intense matchup between two adversaries, blurring the lines between mentor and protégé and culminating in an unexpected outcome.
In a clash that saw AEW stalwart Chris Jericho facing off against the protege he had taken under his wing, the enigmatic Handsome Devil HOOK, with the prestigious FTW title up for grabs, no rules were spared to shield them from each other’s onslaught.
With the constraints of conventional rules discarded, Jericho and HOOK had free rein to unleash their full arsenal upon each other. Utilizing tables, chairs, and other implements as weapons, they sought to establish dominance over their opponent.
Despite HOOK’s incredible resilience, including kicking out of two of Jericho’s signature finishers, the Lionheart’s seasoned prowess ultimately prevailed. Armed with his trusty baseball bat, Jericho urged HOOK to yield.
However, met with defiance, Jericho resorted to a final decisive blow, pinning HOOK to secure the FTW championship.
In the aftermath of defeat, HOOK found solace in the presence of his father, AEW commentator Taz, who witnessed the grueling match firsthand and came to his son’s aid.
