A WWE legend has responded to the news that former AEW star Powerhouse Hobbs has signed with WWE. Following much speculation, it was confirmed that Hobbs’ AEW contract expired recently, and he has now officially joined the Stamford-based promotion. Although WWE has yet to formally announce Hobbs, Hall of Famer Mark Henry offered his congratulations on Twitter with a simple "Congratulations 🎉."
Powerhouse Hobbs himself has not publicly commented on his new WWE affiliation, and his Twitter profile still references AEW as of now. Specific contract details have not been disclosed, and WWE has not yet announced his debut date. Reports suggest that Hobbs might bypass NXT and directly join WWE’s main roster.
Hobbs’ AEW contract ended at midnight on January 14th, with his final match set to air on a tape-delayed episode of Collision. WrestleTalk will continue covering updates on Hobbs’ transition.
