The world of professional wrestling has witnessed a significant shift in power dynamics, with Powerhouse Hobbs set to join the WWE roster, while The Rascalz make their way to AEW. According to sources close to Cody Rhodes, it appears that Powerhouse Hobbs’ AEW deal had been on shaky ground for some time before finally expiring on Thursday.
Hobbs, a force to be reckoned with in the ring, had been making waves in AEW since his debut in 2021. The heavyweight had proven himself to be a formidable opponent, capable of delivering high-impact performances that left fans and opponents alike in awe. However, it seems that the writing was on the wall for Hobbs, who had been exploring options outside of All Elite Wrestling.
A WWE Insider Weighs In
According to a WWE insider, Powerhouse Hobbs’ signing was a priority for the company, particularly given the departure of several key talent in recent months. With the likes of CM Punk and Johnny Gargano leaving the WWE, the company was keen to shore up its roster and inject new blood into the mix.
“Hobbs was a key target for us,” said the insider. “We saw his potential and knew that he would be a great fit for our brand. He’s got the size, strength, and charisma to be a top-tier performer, and we’re excited to see what he can do.”
