After a successful and long run with Ricky Starks as part of Team Taz, Powerhouse Hobbs has finally broken free of the shackles that were holding him down. He is now coming into his own as a wrestler and is a dominant force to be reckoned with.
After turning on Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs defeated the former at AEW All Out. However, the feud wasn’t one-sided, as Ricky Starks defeated Powerhouse Hobbs at AEW Rampage: Grand Slam. Recently, Powerhouse Hobbs was interviewed by Bill Apter. During the interview, when asked whether he has a message for Jon Moxley, Powerhouse Hobbs stated that he is coming for Jon Moxley’s Title.
“Mox knows I’m coming after him. I’m dangerous. I’m from the hood. I’ve had knives pulled on me, been shot. Look at me. You think I would be scared of Mox? Can you honestly say you think I would be scared of Mox? I know he’s not [scared of me]. That’s like Ali and Frazier. Tyson [vs.] Holyfield. It could be bigger than Mayweather and Pacquiao.”
Jon Moxley who is the current AEW World Champion has had a dominant run as of late in AEW. He has taken all comers and emerged victorious in some of the most violent battles ever. While Powerhouse Hobbs has the strength advantage, he has never faced anyone like Jon Moxley who will go to any length to win a match. Whether AEW actually goes ahead and books the match is left to be seen.
