"Moxley knows I'm comin' after him" - Dominant AEW star puts Jon Moxley on notice; teases a potential dream feud (Exclusive)
Jon Moxley might be enjoying a stellar run as the AEW World Champion, but he seemingly has a massive target on his back. Powerhouse Hobbs, who is rising through the ranks of All Elite Wrestling, has teased a potential feud against Moxley.
The Blackpool Combat Club member is currently in his third reign with the AEW World Championship after defeating his stablemate Bryan Danielson to secure the title. He has also emerged as a locker room leader amidst the recent backstage tension in the promotion.
During an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Senior Editor Bill Apter, Powerhouse Hobbs sent a stern warning to The Purveyor of Violence.
"Moxley knows I’m comin’ after him. I’m dangerous too, I’m from Oakland baby! I’m dangerous. Look, I’m from the hood. I’ve had knives pulled on me, I’ve been shot, look at me? You think I’d be scared of Mox? Could you honestly say that you think I’d be scared of Mox?'" said Hobbs. (03:19 onward)

Hobbs also noted that he knows Moxley is not afraid of him and that their potential clash would be reminiscent of some of boxing's legendary feuds.
"I know he’s not [scared of me]. That’s like Ali and Frazier. Tyson and Holyfield. It would be bigger than Mayweather and Pacquiao." (03:49 onward)
Powerhouse Hobbs currently seems to be embroiled in a heated rivalry with his former stablemate, Ricky Starks. It will be interesting to see if he faces the current world champion before the year ends.
