Hobbs is supposed to be Saudi bound.
Fightful Select reported a number of weeks ago that Powerhouse Hobbs had finished up with All Elite Wrestling and was expected to go to WWE. Since then, we’ve confirmed that Hobbs is officially signed to WWE.
Natural speculation has ensued, with many speculating that Hobbs is going to debut at the Royal Rumble. While obviously we can’t confirm that he will be in the Rumble, WWE sources did indicate that Hobbs was scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia this week. He did not travel over with the rest of the team that came over after WWE Raw, and haven’t heard of him popping up yet.
A lot was made today about the offer AEW made Hobbs. The offer was as big as indicated by Wrestling Observer, and he was highly sought out for renewal. WWE stars we've spoken to are excited to see him join.
Hobbs will be getting a new name, believed to be Royce Keyes.
We have since confirmed he did travel to Saudi Arabia.
