For months, Chris Jericho has been embroiled in a heated feud with the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, HOOK. What began as a mentor-protg relationship quickly escalated into a bitter rivalry. The turning point came when HOOK rejected Jerichos proposal to be his Learning Tree, leading to numerous clashes between the two. In the process, HOOK even lost the FTW Championship to Jericho.
During last weeks AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event, Chris Jericho, Big Bill, and Jeff Cobb suffered a defeat at the hands of HOOK, Samoa Joe, and Katsuyori Shibata. On the July 3 edition of AEW Beach Break, Jericho vented his frustrations on HOOKs father, AEW commentator Taz, accusing him of biased commentary during the event.
In a shocking move, Jericho leveraged his influence to have the EVPs, The Young Bucks, escort Taz out of the commentary booth. Jericho then took Tazs place at the desk for the scheduled trios match between Cage Of Agony (The Machine Brian Cage, Toa Liona, and Bishop Kaun) and the team of Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, and HOOK. This unexpected development added another layer of intensity to the ongoing feud, setting the stage for further confrontations.
