WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray praises Powerhouse Hobbs and proposes a major angle for him

Powerhouse Hobbs is one of the top names in AEW and has the potential to become a world champion one day. WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray recently proposed a major angle for the latter and compared him to veterans like Ahmed Johnson.

Speaking on SiriusXM's Busted Open Radio, the WWE Hall of Famer painted the creative direction for Hobbs:

"If I have the pencil, I am not putting Will Hobbs in a definitive story with any particular babyface for three months," Ray said. "I'm having Will Hobbs show up on 'Dynamite,' 'Collision,' 'Rampage,' and just destroying things at will. And when somebody decides to interview him and they ask him, 'Will Hobbs, what is your mission statement? Why are you doing what you're doing?' 'It's one reason: to f**k things up.' 'Why?' 'Because I can and I can't be stopped.'

He continued:

"No rhyme, no reason. Babyfaces, heels, backstage producers, women, men — you name it. Everybody is going to fear Will Hobbs and get that character to a point where you know that when he shows up, something is gonna happen. That's what I would do with him until you settle into a particular babyface standing up to Will." [H/T:WrestlingInc]
