**Jacksonville, FL** – Former WWE Champion and current AEW coach Mark Henry has voiced concerns about the booking of rising star Powerhouse Hobbs following a string of recent losses. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Henry, who has a close mentor-like relationship with Hobbs (“my wrestling dad,” according to Hobbs), expressed frustration over Hobbs’ trajectory after his unsuccessful title challenge against Jon Moxley at last week’s Maximum Carnage Dynamite and a prior loss to Konosuke Takeshita.

Henry specifically criticized the timing of Rated RKO’s save for Hobbs following the Moxley match, suggesting the intervention came too late. While Hobbs subsequently teamed with Rated RKO and The Outrunners in a victory on Collision, Henry’s comments highlight a deeper concern about the company’s handling of a promising talent. The comments come as AEW prepares for its Collision Homecoming special this Saturday at Daily’s Place. This event marks the fourth installment of the Homecoming series, a significant showcase event for the company. The booking of Hobbs, and Henry’s public critique, promises to be a point of discussion amongst wrestling fans as AEW continues to navigate its creative direction.
