Powerhouse Hobbs has been sidelined since April when he suffered a patellar tendon tear in a bout against Jon Moxley.
Fightful Select reported that Hobbs was backstage for the September 4th episode of AEW Dynamite.
Speaking on the AEW All Out media call, Tony Khan was asked by Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report if there was any update on Hobbs.
"Will Hobbs has been visiting the doctors. He was injured wrestling against Jon Moxley in April. It's been several months of Hobbs being out. We're hoping to get him back soon, but I think there is still some time he needs for the recovery. Powerhouse Hobbs is a huge part of AEW and has been a great champion. We look forward to getting Will Hobbs back. I can't say the exact date, but he's somebody in our plans that we want to get going again soon. It's been nice to see him backstage a couple of times lately. This wasn't the first time we've seen him, which is a good thing that he keeps coming in for check ups and is making good progress," said Khan.
Fightful will continue to update fans on Hobbs' status when more is known.
