Tony Khan has provided an update on the injury status of former AEW TNT Champion Powerhouse Hobbs.
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan recently took part in an All Out Media Call. When asked about the reports of Powerhouse Hobbs being backstage recently, Khan provided an update on Hobbs’ injury status.
“That’s a great question. Will Hobbs has been visiting the doctors,” Tony Khan revealed. “He was injured wrestling against Jon Moxley in an IWGP World Title match in Jacksonville in April, and it’s been several months of Will Hobbs being out. We’re hoping to get him back soon, but I think there’s still some time he needs for the recovery.
“But Powerhouse Hobbs is a huge part of AEW, has been a great champion here in AEW, and is absolutely one of the most popular stars. We really look forward to getting Will Hobbs back. I can’t say the exact date, but he’s definitely somebody in our plans that we want to get going in AEW again soon.
“It’s been really nice to see Powerhouse Hobbs backstage a couple of times lately visiting us. This wasn’t the first time we’ve seen him, which is a good thing that he keeps coming in for checkups and is making good progress.”
