Powerhouse Hobbs’ Warning to the AEW Roster
In his social media post, Hobbs expressed his frustration with the injury and the subsequent surgery, stating that he feels anger and disappointment over the setback. Despite these emotions, Hobbs made it clear that he intends to use this experience to fuel his comeback. He wrote:
“Not sure what to say. Injuries happen and we deal with them. We recalibrate, we rebuild, we reinvent. The real test is the comeback. I’ve been told I’ll come back like nothing ever happened.
So, why do I feel so angry right now? Why do I feel so disappointed? It’s because that’s all bulls**t. Nobody comes back the same after any injury. The only choice is to come back BETTER.”
Hobbs’ words reflect his determination to turn his anger into motivation. He emphasized that he’s been through much worse and that his recovery will be nothing compared to the challenges he’s faced in the past. He concluded with a warning to the AEW roster, indicating that he’s bringing “Hell” with him upon his return:
“As I sit here on this Island of Darkness, I have thousands of questions running through my mind nonstop. The doctors tell me not to worry. Just HEAL and RECOVER. They have no idea that this is nothing compared to the hell I’ve been through. Just rest assured when I come back that I’m bringing Hell with me.”
