"I know how to fight" - Powerhouse Hobbs calls out top AEW tag team; makes a bold prediction about his future
AEW star Powerhouse Hobbs is one of the most intimidating athletes on the roster. During a recent interview, the upstart called out Jurassic Express and claimed he'd soon be both TNT and World Champion.
Hobbs and Starks were recently involved in a feud against former WWE stars Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland. After several successful bouts, the duo built their way up the tag-team division. The two are seemingly building up to an AEW Tag Team Championship shot.

“The path right now is for Ricky Starks and I to beat the living hell out of Jurassic Express and take those tag titles,” said Hobbs. “That’s the goal right now. But eventually I will be TNT Champion. Personal goal of mine is being the first African-American AEW World Champion. And any title I get, I’m gonna, I know how to fight and I know what it’s like to starve and struggle." - (H/T: WrestleZone)
