Powerhouse Hobbs On Learning From Samoa Joe, Says World Title Is ‘Always the Plan’

Powerhouse Hobbs has learned a lot from working with Samoa Joe, and he says that the World Title is “always” part of his five-year plan. Hobbs has been aligned with Joe in The Opps since April. Since then, the group has had a stranglehold on the AEW World Trios Championships, which they’ve held for 257 days. Hobbs has remained a member of the group through its recent heel turn.

Hobbs spoke with The Mega Powers Podcast for an interview from Forbidden Door that was released this weekend. He spoke about learning from Joe and his goals moving forward. You can see the highlights below:

On Learning From Samoa Joe:

“You can see I’m learning from Joe. I think the confidence has went from here to here. So you know, Joe will let me know when I’m not handling business, and he’s going to let me know when I’m handling business.”

On His Five-Year Plan:

“That’s the plan [the World Title]. That’s always a plan. If you don’t want to be world champion, you need to get up out of here.”
