Folks, the wrestling world was shaken this week—not by a shocking debut, not by an unexpected title change, but by something even more terrifying: a slightly longer-than-expected healing process.
Yes, Powerhouse Hobbs was all set to do big, beefy things on AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision, but unfortunately, his stitches decided to be divas and refused to heal in time. This left AEW’s creative team scrambling faster than a referee who just realized he’s been knocked out too long.
Hobbs vs. Bill: The Feud Continues (Just With Less Physical Contact)
Originally, Hobbs was reportedly supposed to play a major role in both shows, but instead, we got a pre-taped video where he ominously warned Big Bill that “hell is just the beginning“—which is either a great wrestling promo or a rejected slogan for a haunted house attraction.
For those keeping score, Hobbs and Bill have been on a path of destruction that makes a monster truck rally look like a tea party. Last weekend, Hobbs yeeted Bill into a gate (literally removing it from its hinges, because why not), only for Big Bill to respond with handcuffs, a steel chair, and a personal demonstration of why AEW’s insurance premiums must be through the roof.
But just when it looked like Bill had the upper hand, Hobbs suplexed him off the stage and through a table, because in AEW, a grudge match isn’t official until someone gets sent through furniture.
What’s Next?
With Hobbs set to return in a week, we can only assume that:
✅ More things will be broken
✅ More objects will be used as weapons
✅ Someone (probably Big Bill) will regret ever making eye contact with Powerhouse Hobbs
Stay tuned, because once Hobbs is fully healed, AEW might have to reinforce their entire set before these two wreck everything in sight.
