Powerhouse Hobbs says he has been told he'll come back like nothing ever happened.
Powerhouse Hobbs suffered an apparent injury on the April 24 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he challenged Jon Moxley for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp then reported that Hobbs was indeed injured, and he required surgery.
On May 5, Hobbs took to Twitter/X and commented on his injury:
Not sure what to say. Injuries happen and we deal with them. We recalibrate, we rebuild, we reinvent. The real test is the comeback. I've been told I'll come back like nothing ever happened.
So, why do I feel so angry right now? Why do I feel so disappointed? It's because that's all bullshit. Nobody comes back the same after any injury. The only choice is to come back better.
As I sit here on this Island of Darkness, I have thousands of questions running through my mind nonstop. The doctors tell me not to worry. Just HEAL and RECOVER. They have no idea that this is nothing compared to the hell I've been through. Just rest assured when I come back that I'm bringing Hell with me.
