Powerhouse Hobbs is done with AEW, but don't expect him in WWE today.

Hobbs' AEW deal expired at midnight on January 15, making him a free agent and eligible to appear anywhere. Hobbs' last AEW match will air on Collision on January 17, where he drops the Trios Titles. This opened up the possibility of Hobbs appearing on WWE Smackdown while still on AEW TV. That doesn't look to be happening, unless there's a vignette of some sort.

Fightful Select's Sean Ross Sapp was told that Hobbs was not scheduled to travel to Europe to the site of WWE Smackdown this week. He also wasn't slated to be backstage today, either. Realistically, WWE could have flown him in yesterday to appear on the show today, but that didn't happen.

Hobbs is expected to sign with WWE if he hasn't already. There are reports that WWE was looking to bring him in recent months, but WWE has actually maintained interest for years in Hobbs.

Greg Bonfey

Have him debut in Rumble, big staredown spot with him, Oba and Bron

Blair Fraser

Maybe put a spoiler warning for Collision at the top

Thad Perkins

I’d save it for the rumble surprise.

Ramon Atkins

They'd probably save it for the Rumble. He definitely wouldn't appear on Smackdown if he's gonna be on Collision losing tomorrow night.

Phil Ouimette

Seems pretty obvious that he’d lose the title if he was headed to WWE.

Phil Ouimette

Seems like Rumble surprise is eminent

Steven Neaves

Oh now that’s some meat I’m interested in

Peter

I would like him in NXT. Win the North American title and eventually the NXT world title

BugabooJonez

if he goes to the main roster right away ricky gonna be salty

Blair Fraser

Not necessarily, there is 4 of them in the group, they could have just used the Freebird Rule to have Hook take his place

Laquita Momon

I don't see how when Ricky chose to be in NXT.

Derek90254

Gonna be wasted in WWE unfortunately but I hope not. Big Hobbs fan.

Hunter

Gonna be interesting to see how they debut him and Oba bc they are both big guys, do they want both to debut in the rumble? Will it take the shine away from one or the other? Lots of interesting possibilities and questions but that’s what makes wrestling interesting!

fightful

Fella this is not the place to be if you don't want spoilers.

Blair Fraser

I’m not bothered about spoilers personally, however you do usually put something like “Please navigate away if you wish to avoid spoilers” at the top of posts containing them.

Mark McDonald

No love for the fed. But good luck to hobbs. I wish him all the success. A star imo and Tony didnt push him enough. Id rather have guys like Will Hobbs over the okada's of this world but maybe im in the minority there

John Thee Punisher

Not a fan of WWE but I am a fan of Hobbs abd I hope he does well and doesn't catch the fate of most of the others that went over and actually gets a big sustained main roster push.
