Powerhouse Hobbs was unable to compete on tonight’s AEW event due to medical reasons.
Instead, a pre-taped segment aired in which he stated he was not cleared to travel, explaining his absence from the show and sending a message of warning to Big Bill of The Learning Tree.
However, sources confirm that Hobbs was actually present at the venue and ready to perform, despite his on-screen claim.
Hobbs reportedly required additional recovery time due to unhealed stitches and was advised to wait another week before being cleared for in-ring action.
His absence significantly impacted the planned events for both Dynamite and Collision, resulting in a series of last-minute adjustments.
Not medically cleared, but still dangerous—Powerhouse Hobbs has a haunting message for Big Bill!
