Hook Takes Over The Opps After Samoa Joe’s Injury

Hook is the new leader of The Opps in AEW.

On the 1/28 AEW Dynamite, it was announced that Samoa Joe had suffered a non-contact injury and wasn’t cleared to compete.

Samoa Joe leads The Opps on AEW television. Since Joe is currently injured, he’s passed the reins to Hook, as announced on the February 7 edition of AEW Collision.
