Powerhouse Hobbs Makes Surprise AEW Return After Six-Month Absence

One Big Thing

Powerhouse Hobbs made an unexpected return to AEW Dynamite, marking his first in-ring appearance since April 2023, partnering with Ricochet to defeat Don Callis Family members Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher.

Why It Matters

Hobbs’ return signals a significant shift in AEW’s power dynamics, as he’s now apparently broken free from the Don Callis Family’s influence. This development could reshape multiple storylines and create fresh matchup possibilities in AEW’s competitive landscape.

By The Numbers

• 6 months: Duration of Hobbs’ absence from AEW television
• October 4, 2023: Official expiration date of Hobbs’ contract with Don Callis Family
• Last match: IWGP World Heavyweight Championship loss to Jon Moxley in April

Key Details

• Ricochet revealed Hobbs as his surprise partner after announcing the expiration of Hobbs’ Don Callis Family contract
• The returning star helped secure a victory over his former stablemates
• Following the match, Hobbs posted a cryptic single word tweet: “Back”
• The Hurt Syndicate approached Ricochet backstage about potentially joining their faction

What’s Next

With Hobbs now seemingly independent of the Don Callis Family, questions remain about his future alliances. The Hurt Syndicate’s interest in Ricochet could potentially factor into Hobbs’ trajectory, given their successful partnership.
