HOOK Retires FTW Title Following Successful Defense On AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam

The FTW Championship is no more.

On Wednesday’s “AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam,” FTW Champion Hook retained the title in a hard-fought battle against Roderick Strong. Strong shared a moment of respect following, shaking Hook’s hand after submitting to the Red Rum hold. After the match, Hook stood up in front of the Queens, NY crowd and declared that the time had come to retire the title. After he did so, Hook hugged his father, AEW Broadcaster -and the belt’s originator- Taz in an emotional display.

AEW revived the title in 2020, initially won by Team Taz’s Brian Cage. Since then, Hook has gone on to be a three-time champion, feuding with the likes of Jack Perry and Chris Jericho over the title. Hook’s recent reign began on August 25, when he defeated Chris Jericho to regain the title in Wembley Stadium, thanks to help from his father. Taz had initially created the belt in the 1990s, while Taz was in ECW. The belt had been most famous for the brutal feud between Taz and Sabu, who had heavily-lauded matches for the vanity title.

MVP Makes AEW Debut On Dynamite: Grand Slam, Wants To ‘Talk Business’ With Top Star

Prince Nana appeared during “AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam” to provide an update on Swerve Strickland’s status, but the segment was more notable for the AEW debut of MVP, who has officially signed with the promotion according to Fightful Select.

Strickland was last seen in the viciously bloody Lights Out Cage Match against “Hangman” Adam Page, losing after taking a hypodermic needle through his cheek and all manner of extreme bumps prior. Nana confirmed that he was not in good condition after the match and was recovering, noting that he had lost his world championship, had his home burned down, and suffered his brutal loss to Page in a matter of weeks. He was then interrupted by the debuting MVP, lauding Strickland for his title reign throughout the year before lamenting Nana for allowing him to go through what he did. It became clear why he was disparaging Strickland’s manager when he handed his business card over, telling Nana to pass it on to his client so they can “talk business.” 

MVP’s AEW debut swiftly follows previous reporting that fellow Hurt Business members in WWE, Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley, had been in negotiations to join the promotion. MVP’s Totally Harmless Concept LLC has also filed to trademark “The Hurt Syndicate,” which only adds to the idea that they could be soon to follow.

Bryan Danielson Reveals What’s Next For Him

Bryan Danielson has a bit more left in the tank.

During the main event of this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Danielson came out to cut a promo where he revealed that his full-time career will come to an end when he loses the AEW World Title.

Danielson noted that winning the title was the favorite moment of his career and commented on needing neck surgery sooner rather than later. While he admitted that it was probably time to go home and get the surgery/spend time with his family, he refuses to retire as AEW World Champion.

He then issued a challenge to anyone and everyone, which led to Jack Perry coming out and promising to retire Danielson at All Out 2024. Perry then attacked Danielson to end the show.

Jon Moxley Returns To AEW Dynamite With A Cryptic Message, Aligns With Marina Shafir

Jon Moxley has returned to AEW television.

In the opening segment of week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, The Blackpool Combat Club member came out to cut a promo where he teased a feud with Darby Allin.

Moxley wound up cryptically telling Tony Schiavone that it will take time for people to wrap their heads around this but it is “not your company anymore.” It’s worth noting that Shane McMahon was trending #1 on Twitter following that line.

Later in a backstage segment, it appears Moxley aligned himself with Marina Shafir.

Moxley was backstage when Marina attacked a handful of stage hands as Moxley asked, “You know what we need around here?”

After Marina disposed of various people, Moxley answered his own question with “humility.”
