Hook made his long-awaited return to AEW this week on Dynamite, but fans quickly noticed something different about the presentation — the music. The former FTW Champion no longer walks out to Action Bronson’s “The Chairman’s Intent,” instead making his entrance to Jay Jay Johanson’s “So Tell The Girls I Am Back In Town,” a track that dates all the way back to 1996.
According to a report from Fightful Select, the switch comes after some behind-the-scenes friction between AEW and Action Bronson. The rapper previously described the AEW locker room atmosphere as “weird,” which reportedly didn’t sit well with the company. While things between both sides have since cooled down, AEW had already chosen to move forward with a new theme for Hook. To add to it, the rights to use Bronson’s track had officially expired back in January, making the change inevitable.
Hook’s comeback wasn’t just about a new song — it was about revenge. Appearing at the historic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, the son of Taz stormed the ring to go after Wheeler Yuta of the Death Riders. Yuta and his crew had taken Hook out of action for months, and the young star wasted no time in getting payback.
It was also a strong night for Hook’s faction, The Opps, who successfully defended the AEW World Trios Championship against Ricochet and the Gates of Agony. With Hook back in the mix, the group looks stronger than ever heading into the fall.
Whether fans miss the old Action Bronson entrance or prefer the eerie vibe of Johanson’s track, one thing is clear — Hook is back, and he’s got unfinished business.
