Powerhouse Hobbs has discussed his injury and what’s next.
On the April 24th episode of AEW Dynamite, Hobbs challenged Jon Moxley for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. During the match, Hobbs went crashing into the corner and was seen clutching his knee on the outside of the ring. As the former TNT Champion struggled to get back in the ring, the match ended soon after and appeared to be rushed. In a follow-up report by Fightful Select, it was revealed that the injury was legitimate and Hobbs would require surgery.
Taking to social media to address the events that took place, Hobbs said the following:
Not sure what to say. Injuries happen and we deal with them. We recalibrate, we rebuild, we reinvent. The real test is the comeback. I’ve been told I’ll come back like nothing ever happened.
So, why do I feel so angry right now? Why do I feel so disappointed? It’s because that’s all bullshit. Nobody comes back the same after any injury. The only choice is to come back better.
As I sit here on this Island of Darkness, I have thousands of questions running through my mind nonstop. The doctors tell me not to worry. Just HEAL and RECOVER. They have no idea that this is nothing compared to the hell I’ve been through. Just rest assured when I come back that I’m bringing Hell with me.
Powerhouse Hobbs Joins Growing Injured List
Unfortunately, multiple AEW stars have gone down with injuries in recent weeks. Along with Hobbs being sidelined, former TBS Champion Julia Hart has also undergone surgery and will be out for the foreseeable future. Additionally, former International Champion Rey Fenix was pulled from HOG Cinco De Mayo due to injury.
Features of Wrestling would like to wish Powerhouse Hobbs a full and speedy recovery.
