Chris Jericho is back to his Lionheart ways and has taken HOOK under his wing. After the duo picked up a victory on this week\'s AEW Big Business special, All Elite Wrestling\'s first World Champion laid down a challenge to his partner for a singles match next week on AEW Dynamite.
Jericho & Hook Victorious at Big Business
Jericho and HOOK seemed to compliment one another well in the ring and that was made clear in the finish as the two isolated Bishop Kaun. HOOK attempted to lock Kaun in the Red Rum and Jericho slid in to put him in the Walls of Jericho.
When Toa Loa went for the save, Jericho gave him a springboard dropkick and HOOK cinched in the Red Rum for the submission win.
LionHOOK Explodes Next Week
Paquette caught up with Jericho and Hook backstage after their hard-earned W. She dubbed them LionHOOK, which Jericho loved.
Jericho said the Gates of Agony were no joke, but Hook showed him he\'s got \'future world champion\' potential. He likes what he\'s seen from hook when they\'re on the same team, but wants to see what Hook is made of when they\'re on opposite sides of the ring.

HOOK fist-bumped Jericho and agreed to the challenge, which was made official later in the show.
Chris Jericho vs. Hook will take place on the March 20 edition of AEW Dynamite from Toronto.
HOOK is no stranger to teaming with wrestling legends. Prior to his pairing with Jericho, the 24-year-old former lacrosse payer teamed with Rob Van Dam on several occasions.
