Hook had a great match at 'All In' as he displayed great grit in the arena. He was not just up against Jericho but the rest of the members of the faction.

The kit consisted of cricket balls which were red in color. There were several such balls that fell on the ring. Jericho initially hit Hook with them. But he lost the grip on the moment when Hook started to retaliate. He went down to the ringside and got a cricket bat which had "Hi guys" written on it. Hook took advantage of it and used it as a weapon.
AEW's motive behind using Cricket objects
He smashed Chris' mates with it and attacked Jericho with the balls which fell on the ring. The fans enjoyed the moment as Hook knew how to make cricket objects a weapon. Later on, Hook used the bat to his advantage and came up with a necklock. England as a country is obsessed not just with Football but also with Cricket.
Due to Cricket being the national sport of the country, AEW attempted to bring its flavor to the PLE. It went well with the fans as they took to social media and expressed their happiness. In some of the instances in the USA, Baseball sticks and other similar tools were used where the popularity of the sport was higher.
