Jim Ross says Powerhouse Hobbs reached out to him ahead of the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble

While speaking on his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross commented on Powerhouse Hobbs potentially debuting with WWE at the 2026 Royal Rumble PLE…

“He’ll be in the Royal Rumble, I’m thinking. Why in the hell would you sign a guy this close to that major event and then not utilize him? That’ll be a new face, and he looks great. He called me a day or two ago thanking me for my help over the years.

I said, ‘Well, my phone number isn’t going to change, big fella. So if you need me for something — need a little motivation, need a question answered, or just want to shoot the sh*t — I’m your man. I want to help you if I can.'”
