Powerhouse Hobbs returns, teams with Ricochet on AEW Dynamite
Powerhouse Hobbs is back.
Ricochet introduced Hobbs as his mystery partner in the main event of Dynamite, where he and Hobbs went on to defeat Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher. Following the bout, Fletcher took out Hobbs with a steel chair. Mark Davis came out and confronted Fletcher, but was met by Lance Archer and Brian Cage. Will Ospreay then came out to make the save, clearing the ring as the show went off the air.
Prior to the match, Ricochet explained that Hobbs’ contract with the Don Callis Family had expired last month, and Hobbs was mad that no one checked in on him during his recovery.
Hobbs was injured back on the April 24 edition of Dynamite, where he blew out the patellar tendon in his knee during a match against Jon Moxley for the IWGP World Heavyweight title. In recent months, he had been backstage at AEW shows meeting with doctors, and in October revealed he was cleared for an in-ring return.
