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.

So you happy he turned down more money to go to WWE??

Anthony Guichardo

I’m happy he made a career choice he wanted, happy for the exposure he’s going to get and happy he (like others) have options nowadays.

John Thee Punisher

For him to have a fresh start in the biggest wrestling promotion ever. More people will see him and he can wrestle in front of huge crowds every time. I don't like WWEs product but can admit it's a good move for him , potentially.

Troy A Palek

I'm happy wrestling is in a place that he had the option to turn down more money. Not sure why anyone would be mad about that

Abby

Royce is his sons name, he chose the name.

Rob Iapicca

He should come out in a Rolls Royce and toss them to a valet driver... he could say "here's the Royce Keyes" and hand him a $20.. he should also be billed from the Florida Keys... and be given a key to every city they go to.. just a collection of keys... could be the keylafala

Flameducky

And that's cool, but he shouldn't have to change his name when he's already going to the main roster as a known quantity

Draculala

I never get why people attack the new WWE ring names when 98% of the time, they've chosen it lol like ask the TALENT why they chose it

Aristidis Fantis

WWE's ability to acquire amazing wrestlers with low-ball contracts is extraordinary. Just the allure of that place is enough for guys like Hobbs who dream "I'm going to be on WrestleMania". Even though in 99.9% of cases, at best they get to be in catering for WrestleMania.
