WWE are reportedly interested in one of AEW’s talents.
It’s not the first time WWE have picked up a star from their rival with Jade Cargill currently serving as their SmackDown women’s champion.
Ricky Saints, Ethan Page and Blake Monroe are three others to make their way over while Cody Rhodes is of course the biggest name of them all (but was at WWE first).
According to the Wrestling Observer, Powerhouse Hobbs is also on WWE’s radar.
“There’s more to the Hobbs situation than I wrote. I don’t know when his AEW contract expires, but I do know that people in WWE really want him. He’ll definitely get offers. There are people in WWE who are very behind him.”
Hobbs fits the WWE mould with his muscular physique and physcial charisma.
He’s had a bit of a stop-start AEW career and has never reached the very top, but he is currently in Samoa Joe’s Opps stable and is featured every week.
In fact, his Opps team-mate, Hook, is rumoured to interest WWE as well. He is, of course, the son of Taz.
Before AEW, Hobbs was on the independent circuit for about nine years and actually had a WWE dark match in 2016, losing to Baron Corbin.
AEW have taken far more stars from WWE than the other way around with names like Adam Cole, Edge, Bryan Danielson, Mercedes Mone and Jon Moxley just the tip of the iceberg.
