Jon Moxley has continued to disrupt the landscape of AEW over the past year, aligning with the Death Riders and cementing himself as one of the promotion’s most notorious villains. Recently, AEW World Trios Champion Powerhouse Hobbs revealed that he also has some unresolved issues with Moxley, adding his name to the growing list of adversaries who seek to challenge The Purveyor of Violence.
Hobbs reflected on his interactions with Moxley, noting that although they have met in the ring twice between 2024 and 2025, their conflict has not yet escalated into a full competitive feud. In a recent interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Hobbs described a bond similar to a brotherly relationship with Moxley and disclosed plans for a program involving himself, Moxley, and Darby Allin that was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s almost like an older brother-big brother relationship. We do have some unfinished business. There are things that were supposed to happen earlier in my career with the match with me, him, and Darby. Due to COVID, it didn’t happen. Some people got COVID. It’s one of those relationships where when we have to go at it, we’ll go at it. There is still some unfinished business.” —Powerhouse Hobbs, AEW World Trios Champion
Despite the delays, Hobbs believes that this storyline remains viable and likely to be developed in the future, though AEW’s exact plans for him have yet to unfold.
