Powerhouse Hobbs has made the significant move from AEW to WWE, and Tony Khan, the president of AEW, recently shared his thoughts on this transition. In a recent interview, Khan took the time to reflect on Hobbs’ impactful journey during his tenure in AEW, emphasizing the valuable contributions he made while part of the organization.
Khan remarked, "I believe Powerhouse Hobbs had an impressive stint with us at AEW. He began his wrestling career here in Jacksonville, where I currently am, had some outstanding matches, and even achieved championship status within AEW."
Powerhouse Hobbs debuted as Royce Keys at the 2026 Royal Rumble, marking a new chapter in his career after leaving behind a memorable legacy in AEW that included championship wins and unforgettable story arcs. Notably, his final stint with AEW saw him capture the AEW World Trios Championship alongside Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata, showcasing his talent and teamwork.
Khan's respectful remarks align with what has been reported previously—that AEW made a robust effort to retain Hobbs. Ultimately, Hobbs chose to embark on his WWE journey, and both parties parted ways amicably.
In addition to discussing Hobbs, Khan also touched on other wrestling talents like AJ Styles and Tommaso Ciampa, highlighting the dynamic world of wrestling in which fans are keenly interested.
