AEW had to scramble behind the scenes last week after Powerhouse Hobbs was unexpectedly sidelined.
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the company was still figuring things out while Dynamite was on the air, leading to a hectic night of last-minute adjustments.
Hobbs, who recently returned from a patella tendon rupture that kept him out for months, was set to be part of Wednesdays tapings. However, earlier reports indicated that a fresh cut kept him from being cleared, forcing AEW to rewrite the show on the fly.
Despite his absence, Hobbs made it clear in a pre-taped segment that he isnt done with Big Bill. Reflecting on their AEW Collision: Homecoming brawl that saw both men crash through tables, Hobbs vowed to return with a vengeance. Once Im cleared, Im going to show Bill that hell was just the beginning.
AEWs live production isnt easy to manage, and this week was proof of that. With Hobbs expected to be out for at least another week, it remains to be seen how AEW reshuffles its plans moving forward.
