WWE officials apparently like what they've seen from AEW star Powerhouse Hobbs. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that some within WWE are quite high on Hobbs. Hobbs is currently a member of The Opps along with Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, and HOOK. Hobbs, Joe, and Shibata hold the AEW World Trios Championship.

It appears WWE has been in pursuit of certain talent from other promotions. Reports have surfaced claiming that the professional wrestling company is interested in NJPW's David Finlay and the Knock Out Brothers. While Yuto-Ice and Oskar declined an offer, per Cory Hays of Bodyslam, Finlay is set to become a free agent, and he could join his father and brother in WWE.

Powerhouse Hobbs' Recent Matches

Hobbs was last seen in the ring on Wednesday's episode of AEW "Dynamite." He teamed with HOOK to take on "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland in a "Lights Out" tag team match. Hobbs and Hook were defeated near the 20-minute mark. The match was booked amid a heated feud involving The Opps, Page, and Strickland.

The last time Hobbs scored a win was during the Dec. 3, 2025 episode of "Dynamite." Hobbs, Shibata, and HOOK defeated Evil Uno, John Silver, and Alex Reynolds of The Dark Order. The Opps last defended the AEW World Trios Championship on the Nov. 5, 2025 episode of "Dynamite," defeating Page, Eddie Kingston, and HOOK, who would later turn heel.
