Powerhouse Hobbs Discloses That His Ruptured Patella Healed Faster Than Expected

In an interview with Fightful, AEW World Trios Champion and member of The Opps, Powerhouse Hobbs, discussed several topics. He talked about his return to in-ring action ahead of schedule after suffering a ruptured patellar tendon during a match with Jon Moxley in April 2024. This injury was expected to take 8 to 12 months to fully heal.

This is what Powerhouse Hobbs said, “That’s me. What you see in the ring every week, that’s me to a large extension. Being down for six months with rupture patella, which was supposed to take eight to twelve months to heal. I’m a freak and a different beast. I’m from the Bay. I knew once I came back that I had to amp things up and be different. True story, you can ask our doctor Michael Sampson. When I first went to my second follow up after surgery, the doctor was like, ’You’re not supposed to be standing or doing any of this. I had a goal set in mind and I knew I was going to have surgery. I’m a little different. I’ve overcame a lot in my life and this was nothing different.”
