Powerhouse Hobbs Joining WWE Update – Hobbs Reportedly Signed WWE Contract

As noted before, Powerhouse Hobbs’ contract expired this past Thursday and he has been expected to be leaving AEW and joining WWE. Hobbs’ profile was recently removed from AEW’s official roster page.

Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reported that his sources confirmed that Hobbs recently signed an official contract with WWE.

Oh yeah, before I leave for a weekend off.

No longer "believed." Powerhouse Hobbs is signed by WWE.
