On a February edition of AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley, the IWGP World Champion, went head-to-head with Powerhouse Hobbs.
Unfortunately, Hobbs sustained a legitimate knee injury during their encounter. After undergoing surgery just last month, he is projected to be sidelined for a considerable amount of time.
While speaking on the AEW All Out media conference call, AEW President Tony Khan shared an update on Hobbs, who was at Wednesday’s Dynamite.
“Will Hobbs has been visiting the doctors. He was injured wrestling against Jon Moxley in April. It’s been several months of Hobbs being out. We’re hoping to get him back soon, but I think there is still some time he needs for the recovery. Powerhouse Hobbs is a huge part of AEW and has been a great champion. We look forward to getting Will Hobbs back. I can’t say the exact date, but he’s somebody in our plans that we want to get going again soon. It’s been nice to see him backstage a couple of times lately. This wasn’t the first time we’ve seen him, which is a good thing that he keeps coming in for check ups and is making good progress,” said Khan.
