Sabu Wants To Face HOOK In Final Match

All Elite Wrestling has more than a little bit of ECW DNA coursing through its veins, with AEW President Tony Khan an avowed fan of the legendary hardcore promotion.

In 2023 alone we’ve seen former ECW World Champions Sabu and Rob Van Dam appear at AEW events, and Sabu has spoken of his desire to wrestle in an AEW ring for his final match, saying the following to Title Match Network:

"I thought it was awesome. I thought it was awesome [RVD’s AEW debut]. Would have been better if he came out with me. He came out, and he had a surprise, and it ended with all of us. I wanted him to win the FTW belt, give it to me, and then in my final match, I lose it back to HOOK. I didn't say it to nobody, that's just my thought. I like HOOK, he's a good guy, a good kid, very respectful. Needs to gain some weight, of course, and experience, but I think he has a good future. It would be my pleasure to help him," Sabu said.

Sabu is one of two men to have held the FTW Title when it was an unsanctioned belt in ECW, with Sabu and long-time rival Taz exchanging the title in 1998. HOOK is of course Taz’s son, so a potential storyline between HOOK and Sabu writes itself.
