Although AEW has been without a notable star for several months, things might be looking up for this wrestler.
That star is Powerhouse Hobbs, who signed with AEW in 2020 when he lost his debut match to Orange Cassidy on an episode of AEW Dark. He would later be paired with Taz as part of Team Taz with Ricky Starks and Brian Cage.
Hobbs, a former TNT Champion, has been away since a February episode of AEW Dynamite when he worked with IWGP World Champion Jon Moxley. Hobbs sustained a legitimate knee injury.
He had surgery in April and is expected to miss considerable time from in-ring action. However, he was recently Dynamite in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This was seen as a positive sign to see him backstage at the event and visiting with friends.
Fightful Select reported today that “Hobbs was at AEW All Out weekend and is back on the road with AEW.” It’s unclear exactly when he will be returning.
