AEW’s Hook Signs with Top Agent Barry Bloom Ahead of Contract Talks

Hook just made a major power move outside the ring, and it could have serious implications for his future in AEW—or even beyond.

PWInsider has confirmed that the young star has signed with high-profile agent Barry Bloom, a name well-known for negotiating some of the biggest contracts in professional wrestling.

Bloom’s client list reads like a who’s who of top-tier wrestling talent. He has represented industry heavyweights like Chris Jericho, The Elite, Goldberg, and even former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon at one point. Now, he’s added Hook to his roster, setting up the FTW Champion for what could be a pivotal moment in his career.

Sources indicate that Bloom has been working with Hook for several months, quietly strategizing for his next big contract talks. AEW is expected to do everything in its power to keep him, as Hook remains a homegrown success story and one of the company’s most promising young stars. But with WWE keeping an eye on rising talent and Hook’s undeniable marketability, this move signals that he’s preparing for all possibilities.

Signing with a seasoned agent like Bloom suggests Hook isn’t just thinking about his next contract—he’s thinking long-term. Whether it’s a bigger deal with AEW, future crossover opportunities, or even entertaining offers from WWE down the road, Hook is making sure he’s in the best position possible when negotiations begin.

What do you think Hook’s next big career move should be? Will AEW lock him down with a major contract, or could he become one of the most sought-after free agents in wrestling? Share your thoughts below!
