As noted before, Powerhouse Hobbs’ contract expired this past Thursday and he is expected to be leaving AEW and joining WWE. Hobbs’ profile was recently removed from AEW’s official roster page.
Fightful Select reports that sources speaking with Sean Ross Sapp indicate that people within WWE believe Hobbs has already signed with the company.
The report also mentions that there are expectations for Hobbs to be present during the Royal Rumble weekend; however, this has not been confirmed.
WWE Royal Rumble is scheduled to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on January 31st, 2026.
Stay tuned for more updates.
