AEW Star Present Backstage During Prolonged Absence

AEW boasts a deep roster of talent, with many key players cycling in and out of action after taking time off. One such star that fans have been eager to see return is Powerhouse Hobbs, whose absence has been felt in recent months.

The company is going to present the fallout after All Out this week. Fans will have to see if a big return is in store, but one name seems even more likely, because Powerhouse Hobbs may be getting closer to a return.

Hobbs has not competed since April 24, 2024, when he faced Jon Moxley for the IWGP World Heavyweight Title on AEW Dynamite. However, there are signs that his return may be imminent, as he’s been spotted backstage.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, Hobbs was present at AEW Dynamite and during AEW All Out weekend, indicating that he’s back on the road with the company. Of course, he hasn’t made his return just yet. So, fans are still waiting on that.

As Hobbs prepares for his return, all eyes will be on what he does next. With his undeniable potential, he could be a major player for AEW. However, to fully capitalize on his abilities, he will need consistent television time and, most importantly, stay healthy to realize his full potential.

Interestingly, WWE had the opportunity to sign Hobbs before he joined AEW, making his journey all the more compelling. His comeback could shake up the AEW landscape in a big way. Stay tuned to Ringside News for more updates as this story unfolds.
