Powerhouse Hobbs must get a sustained push at the top

BBG News

The January 8th episode of AEW Dynamite showcased the Casino Gauntlet Battle Royale, and an exciting surprise unfolded as Powerhouse Hobbs claimed victory. Hobbs is one of those AEW talents that fans have eagerly anticipated to rise in prominence towards main events. Indeed, his rise is imminent, and we hope it leads to a lasting stay among the company’s elite.

All Elite Wrestling boasts a roster brimming with youthful prowess destined to become tomorrow’s leading stars. Hobbs might not have initially generated the buzz like MJF or Daniel Garcia, but he has managed to create a niche for himself that has yielded some positive outcomes. In 2023, he held onto the AEW TNT Championship for 42 days, and although this title run left much to speculation, it served as a beacon of optimism hinting at potential future accomplishments.

It seems highly unlikely that Hobbs will defeat Jon Moxley in their upcoming match. However, this could provide an opportunity for AEW to portray Hobbs in a powerful manner, even if he ends up losing. If we see Hobbs valiantly fending off the Death Riders and requiring all four members working together to secure victory, it leaves a strong impression that can be leveraged to create momentum for Hobbs.

Following his recent loss to Konosuke Takeshita and several unsuccessful title match attempts, it’s crucial to manage Hobbs’ losses carefully to avoid long-term damage to his character development. At the present time, capturing the AEW World Championship might not be within Hobbs’ reach, but this situation could pave the way for something significant in the future.

Hobbs is currently 33 years old, and it’s intriguing to speculate about how All Elite Wrestling (AEW) might utilize him as a key character in their weekly storylines. For instance, imagine pitting Hobbs against Bobby Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate in a prolonged narrative arc. Alternatively, they could arrange for Hobbs to challenge Takeshita again, even possibly winning the International Championship. However, it’s important to note that Hobbs fans should not expect him to dethrone Moxley from his championship position. Instead, they should hope that this moment propels him forward, rather than returning him to anonymity.

Powerful wrestler Hobbs, who’s been capturing attention on the AEW roster for some time now, shocked many when he emerged victorious in the Casino Gauntlet Battle Royal. Here’s hoping this victory kick-starts a lasting period of prominence for him.
