Powerhouse Hobbs reportedly suffered a legitimate injury during the 04-24-24 episode of AEW Dynamite, in his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match with Jon Moxley.
According to wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, who provided insights into the incident, the injury sustained by Powerhouse Hobbs was not part of a scripted storyline. Meltzer described the moment, stating, "If you watched the show last night, that was not a worked knee injury. He went for a high cross or something and smashed into the turnbuckles and injured his knee. He could barely walk, and he hopped his way back into the ring, hopped into like two spots, and got choked out. There was more they were going to do."
The severity of Powerhouse Hobbs' injury and the potential impact on his career remain uncertain at this time. Knee injuries, in particular, can be challenging for wrestlers, as they can require extensive rehabilitation and may result in prolonged absences from in-ring competition. For Powerhouse Hobbs, who has been gaining momentum in AEW with his impressive athleticism and powerhouse style, a significant injury could derail his ascent in the company and alter the trajectory of his career.
