According to Fightful Select, HOOK is still under contract with AEW and reportedly signed a new multi-year contract with the company last year. The report also mentioned that HOOK has engaged Barry Bloom’s group to represent him in contract negotiations. Sources familiar with the situation indicated that HOOK has already re-signed with All Elite Wrestling and has multiple years remaining on his current contract.
This news comes after a report last month stating that HOOK had not yet been cleared for an in-ring return. AEW teased HOOK's return on AEW Dynamite last Wednesday night with a new vignette.
