AEW star Powerhouse Hobbs has the opportunity to win his first championship in All Elite Wrestling next weekend, when he teams with Ricky Starks to face both the team of Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland and AEW World Tag Team Champions Jurrasic Express in a triple threat match for the titles.
While Hobbs is a member of Team Taz right now, he will one day need to go out on his own in the company.
Hobbs recently spoke to the Wrestling Perspective Podcast, where he discussed his goals for becoming a solo star in AEW, and how he wants to make history.
He said:
“The task right now is for Ricky Starks and me to beat the living hell out of Jurassic Express and take those tag titles. That’s the goal right now. But eventually, I will be TNT Champion. A personal goal of mine is to be the first African-American AEW World Champion. I know how to fight and I know what it’s like to starve and struggle. Any title I get, it’s gonna be hell for anybody to take that away from me.
“But I plan on being a big name and being around for a long time. That has always been my goal, ever since I wanted to become a professional wrestler. I want people to remember me and when they say, ‘Oh, who’s the baddest mf’er?’ I want my name to come up.”
