The wrestling world is buzzing with the news that Powerhouse Hobbs might be leaving AEW for WWE, and the reactions are intense! Eric Bischoff, a wrestling legend, has some strong opinions on this potential move.
Bischoff believes that Hobbs' decision to bet on himself and potentially join WWE showcases an incredible level of self-belief. He praises Hobbs' attitude, suggesting that his confidence will be a huge asset in WWE. With such a mindset, Bischoff predicts a bright future for Hobbs, stating, "If that's a guy I want on my team, absolutely. So I think he's going to be hugely successful."
But here's where it gets controversial... Sean Ross Sapp reveals that AEW made significant efforts to keep Hobbs, with contract negotiations lasting months and offers being made right up until this week. Despite these efforts, Hobbs decided to move on, and reports indicate he did so professionally, not burning any bridges.
And this is the part most people miss: WWE's current plan for Hobbs is to bypass the NXT system and debut directly on the main roster. They're even considering giving him a new ring name!
So, what do you think? Is Hobbs making a smart move by trusting his instincts and going to WWE? Or should he have stayed with AEW and continued his journey there? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Remember, in wrestling, sometimes the biggest risks lead to the most rewarding payoffs.
