AEW wrestler Hook announced for indie show

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Another AEW wrestler has picked up a booking for Limitless Wrestling in Maine this month.

The indie promotion has announced that Hook will be in action at Limitless Rumble 2026 on Friday, January 16. It will be Hook’s debut for Limitless, with the show also set to feature his AEW co-workers MJF, Eddie Kingston, and Ortiz. Hook’s match for the event has not been announced.

“[Hook] is coming to the 2026 Limitless Rumble on Friday, Jan 16th @ the historic Colisée in Lewiston, ME!,” Limitless wrote. “The second-generation standout & final FTW Champion makes a rare appearance outside AEW for his Limitless Wrestling debut!”

The son of ECW legend Taz, Hook made his pro wrestling debut for AEW in 2021. He recently turned heel in November 2025 by helping Samoa Joe win the AEW World Championship from Hangman Page. Joe’s reign didn’t last too long, though, as he dropped the title to MJF in a four-way match at Worlds End.

MJF — if he is still champion when the show takes place — will be defending his AEW World Championship against Alec Price at the Limitless Rumble. For the title to be on the line, MJF needs to retain his belt over Bandido on AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage on January 14.

MJF to defend AEW World title at indie event

MJF’s trip to Maine later this month will include an AEW World Championship defense.

It had already been announced that MJF would be competing for Limitless Wrestling at the indie promotion’s Limitless Rumble event on Friday, January 16. MJF has now issued a challenge to Alec Price for the show — and MJF offered to put his AEW World title on the line if he’s still champion after his upcoming defense against Bandido.

This will be MJF’s first match for Limitless in more than six years. He was the promotion’s inaugural World Champion during his days on the indies. Since then, he’s gone on to become a top star for AEW. MJF is now on his second reign as AEW champ after winning the title at Worlds End in December.

“When I think of wrestling companies that I did enjoy absolutely dominating, Limitless very well might be just at the very tippy top of that list,” MJF said while challenging Price. “Now there’s a guy in Limitless Wrestling, he’s got a loud mouth, he’s skinny, he won’t shut the hell up. But the reason everybody hates him, the reason everybody really hates this guy is because he can back it up. Alec Price, you remind me a lot of a young MJF. So I figured what better way to start the new year than to bring in the biggest, grandest prize possible to Limitless Wrestling.”

Price responded by warning MJF not to underestimate him.

Limitless Rumble 2026 is being held at The Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. AEW stars Eddie Kingston & Ortiz will also be part of the card, facing Channing Thomas & Anthony Greene in a tag team bout.
