AEW could be without two of its stars for an extended period.
Powerhouse Hobbs appeared to be favoring his right knee during last week's main event of AEW Dynamite when he challenged Jon Moxley for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Our own Bryan Alvarez later confirmed Hobbs' injury was legit.
Fightful Select is reporting that the injury is significant and Hobbs is not expected to return anytime soon. However, further details regarding the nature of the injury were not revealed.
Also according to Fightful, the early indications are that Julia Hart will require surgery, although the nature of her injury has not been revealed either. She hurt her shoulder in a match with Leyla Hirsch on the April 10 Rampage (aired April 12) but continued working after. It's not clear if that is the injury she may need surgery for, however.
Hart wrestled a mixed tag match with Brody King against Nightingale and Adam Copeland on April 17 and then dropped the TBS title to Nightingale in a six-minute match at AEW Dynasty. She hasn't been on AEW programming since the pay-per-view.
