The world of professional wrestling has been abuzz with speculation about the potential departure of Powerhouse Hobbs from All Elite Wrestling (AEW). While neither Hobbs nor AEW has officially confirmed the move, recent reports have fueled rumors that the powerhouse is on the verge of joining the WWE. Former WCW President Eric Bischoff, an industry veteran with a keen eye for talent, believes that Hobbs would be a huge success in the WWE.
AEW’s Loss Could Be WWE’s Gain
According to Bischoff, Hobbs’ physical presence and in-ring abilities make him an ideal candidate for the WWE. Speaking on his popular podcast, 83 Weeks, Bischoff praised Hobbs’ raw power and athleticism, stating that he has the potential to become a top-tier superstar in the WWE. “Powerhouse Hobbs has the kind of physicality that’s hard to find in today’s wrestling landscape,” Bischoff said. “He’s a bigger, stronger, faster guy who can hang with anyone in the WWE. I think he’d be a huge asset to the company.”
WWE’s Interest in Hobbs Grows
Sources close to the WWE have revealed that the company has been actively courting Hobbs for several weeks, with a number of top officials expressing interest in signing him to a lucrative contract. While details of the negotiations are scarce, insiders claim that Hobbs is being offered a substantial sum of money to join the WWE, one that would far exceed his current compensation package at AEW.
According to a WWE insider, Hobbs is being seen as a key piece in the company’s plans to revamp its roster and bring in fresh talent. “We’re looking for guys who can help us build a new era of wrestling, and Powerhouse Hobbs fits the bill perfectly,” the insider said. “He’s got the kind of charisma and athleticism that can help us take our product to the next level.”
AEW’s Loss of Hobbs Could Have Ripple Effects
If Hobbs does indeed make the jump to the WWE, it could have significant implications for AEW. The company has invested heavily in Hobbs, both in terms of time and resources, and his departure would be a major blow to its roster. Sources close to AEW have revealed that the company is already feeling the effects of Hobbs’ potential departure, with several other top stars expressing concern about the company’s ability to compete with the WWE.
According to a source close to Cody Rhodes, AEW’s CEO, the company is “very concerned” about the potential loss of Hobbs. “We’ve invested a lot in Powerhouse Hobbs, and losing him would be a huge blow to our roster,” the source said. “We’re doing everything we can to keep him, but if he does leave, it could have a ripple effect and lead to other stars following suit.”
What’s Next for Powerhouse Hobbs?
While the speculation surrounding Hobbs’ potential departure from AEW continues to swirl, one thing is certain: the WWE is eager to sign him to a contract. With his powerful presence and in-ring abilities, Hobbs has the potential to become a top-tier superstar in the WWE. Whether he chooses to join the WWE or remain with AEW remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: his future in the world of professional wrestling is bright.
As the WWE continues to court Hobbs, one thing is clear: the world of professional wrestling will be watching with bated breath to see what the future holds for this powerful powerhouse.
