In recent news, it appears that WWE legends Triple H and Shawn Michaels have taken a keen interest in the rising star Hook. Currently a prominent figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Hook is the son of former WWE Superstar Taz and, while not confirmed, there is speculation he might be nearing the end of his contract, making him an upcoming free agent. Garnering a dedicated fan base within AEW, many industry insiders view him as a potential future superstar. WWE might think so too.
Despite his relatively smaller stature, If Michaels and Triple H are eyeing Hook, WWE seems to recognize the potential in the second-generation star and is considering investing in his development as he matures into a prominent figure in the industry. The private insider Twitter account, known as #BWE BoozerRasslin, recently shared insights indicating that Hook is believed to be the most easily attainable among the list of upcoming free agents. While other notable names like The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega are also available, there is a prevailing belief that they are leaning towards remaining with AEW.
The tweet from #BWE reads, "Personally; I think Hook is the easiest catch for WWE atm. Taz wants him to go. HBK n H wants him. I don't know about his contract. But I believe he could be the first of many."

Could Hook Work In WWE?
There will be fans, especially a contingent of AEW fans, who will suggest the WWE would have no idea how to properly book and use Hook. That may be true, especially considering it's a bit hard to put one's finger on why he's so popular. However, the idea that Hook stands to project farther if he were in WWE is also out there. Some say AEW has dropped the ball with him, especially considering how over he was with the crowd.
While the specific details of Hook's contractual situation remain unknown, it seems that a potential partnership between WWE and Hook could be on the horizon, with Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Taz all rumored to be expressing interest in his future.
