At AEW All In 2024, Hook reclaimed the FTW Championship from Chris Jericho in a dramatic match that included the return of his father, Taz. Following the event, AEW President Tony Khan addressed a journalist's claim that the FTW title was treated as a joke, firmly stating that it has always been valued in AEW despite being unsanctioned. Khan emphasized that Taz created the title in 1998 to represent significant achievements and not as an insult. He clarified that the FTW Championship has been treated with respect and has been crucial in elevating wrestlers like Brian Cage and now Hook. The reporter later apologized for his wording, acknowledging the title's legacy and importance. Taz also supported Khan's statements, reinforcing that none of the champions have been jokes.
