HOOK is a champion, and there seeming to be trouble in paradise for Team Taz.
On the July 27 edition of AEW Dynamite, Ricky Starks successfully defeated Danhausen in an FTW Championship match. Moments later, Starks called for another opponent, to which fellow Team Taz member HOOK would answer the open challenge. HOOK would make quick work of Starks, submitting him with a standing redrum to win his first ever championship in his wrestling career.

After the commercial break, Starks was in the midst of a passionate promo when his longtime partner Powerhouse Hobbs attacked him from behind. After some slight hesitation, Hobbs delivered a spine buster to Starks, much to the dismay of Taz.
