HOOK Recovering from a Concussion – AEW star HOOK has revealed that he is currently recovering from a concussion, officially confirming the reason behind his extended absence from television. The former FTW Champion has not wrestled since an April episode of AEW Dynamite, where he appeared visibly ill in the ring, even vomiting during his match—an incident that raised immediate concerns among fans.
At the time, early reports downplayed the severity of the situation, suggesting that HOOK had not sustained a concussion. However, HOOK himself has now clarified the truth during a recent appearance on Wrestling Observer Live.
“I’m recovering from a concussion for those who don’t know, but I’ve been out for a while and should be back soon,” HOOK stated, confirming that the injury was more serious than initially believed.
Since his last match, HOOK’s absence has left a noticeable gap in his tag team alliance with Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata. In the interim, Powerhouse Hobbs has stepped in to fill that role, leading to speculation about possible tension or storyline developments upon HOOK’s return. That tension was briefly teased during HOOK’s short appearance in the Anarchy in the Arena match at Double or Nothing, where subtle hints pointed toward a potential rift between HOOK and his current partners.
Despite the intrigue surrounding his future storyline direction, HOOK’s health remains the top priority. AEW has not issued a formal return date, but his comments suggest that he expects to be back in action in the near future.
HOOK’s hard-hitting style and rising popularity make his return highly anticipated, and fans will be eager to see how his storyline with Joe, Shibata, and Hobbs unfolds once he’s cleared to compete again.
