A star from AEW has expressed interest in competing for a world title from another wrestling promotion following recent developments. At the CMLL Domingo Familia event held on November 23rd at Arena Mexico, several AEW wrestlers participated, including the main event where Gran Guerrero successfully defended the CMLL Heavyweight Championship against AEW’s The Beast Moltos. Gran Guerrero’s victory caught the attention of AEW powerhouse Hobbs, who hinted at future challenges by tweeting, “Hmm…🤔.” Many interpreted this as Hobbs considering a shot at Guerrero’s title.
When Fightful tweeted about this, Hobbs confirmed his intention to challenge for the championship, stating, “That’s exactly correct.” Although Hobbs has not yet debuted in CMLL while linked with AEW, he did compete at AEW’s Grand Slam event in Mexico earlier this year. Currently, Hobbs holds the AEW World Trios Championship alongside Katsuyori Shibata and newly crowned AEW World Champion Samoa Joe as part of The Ops.
Fan Take: This news excites AEW fans because it suggests increasing collaboration and competition between wrestling promotions, adding fresh matchups and storylines. Hobbs challenging for CMLL’s world title could elevate AEW’s presence internationally and boost the sport’s cross-promotional appeal.
