FTW Champion HOOK will challenge Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship later tonight on AEW Dynamite.
On a recent edition of his “1 Of A Kind” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam weighed in on the upcoming title match. He said,
“From what I know about him, absolutely. What I don’t know about him is very important because this sounds like a good matchup, it’s probably a really exciting matchup if you’ve followed the pathway that HOOK is on and seen what he’s overcome to find the obstacle now that is Samoa Joe. I haven’t unfortunately been following the matches he’s had since [he teamed with] me, so I don’t know that part of it, otherwise it sounds like a [match where] cool couple of guys that do jiu-jitsu, mat wrestling with one of them being much bigger much more experienced in my dear friend Samoa Joe. Sounds like it might be a schooling of sorts, but I’m sure if I had a bigger picture and knew what his pathway coming into facing Samoa Joe, it sounds like what they did was compelling.”
In a recent interview with Adrian Hernandez, Powerhouse Hobbs recalled teaming with Konosuke Takeshita in a losing effort against Sting and Darby Allin on last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
Hobbs sent a warning to the two babyfaces, saying,
“We were trying to go out and win the match. We were going out to make a statement. I guarantee you those two know, the next time you get in the ring with us, you’re going to hurt. Unfortunately, it didn’t come out the way we wanted to, but they’re going to remember being in the ring with Takeshita and Powerhouse Hobbs.”
