The wrestling landscape shifted this week when reports confirmed that Powerhouse Hobbs turned down a substantial offer from Tony Khan to remain with AEW. Having said his goodbyes at the January 14 tapings, Hobbs is now eligible to appear for WWE immediately.

While internal pitches have suggested a SmackDown debut, the timing of the WWE RAW in Belfast presents a rare opportunity. With Finn Balor fighting in his home field for the first time on a televised red brand show, he seemingly needs a moment that will be remembered for decades.

Balor has often been outnumbered or physically overwhelmed in his pursuit of the World Heavyweight Title. While The Judgment Day provides numbers, many believe they lack a dedicated monster enforcer. By introducing Hobbs as his personal bodyguard, The Prince could create a shield that even a veteran like CM Punk can’t bypass.

Furthermore, Powerhouse Hobbs potentially debuting as the muscle of The Judgment Day could instantly cement him as a top-tier threat and ensure Finn Balor leaves Belfast with the gold.

While this angle seems far-fetched, it is not entirely impossible. Fans will have to wait until the upcoming episode of RAW to see if this eventually comes to fruition.

Finn Balor potentially introducing Hobbs as The Judgment Day’s new powerhouse could be a masterstroke

It appears that The Judgment Day’s aesthetic is built on grit and dominance. Powerhouse Hobbs, with his savage intensity, could fit the mold of a modern-day powerhouse perfectly.

Historically, Finn Balor has always thrived when he has a heavy hitter by his side (think back to his Balor Club days). Hence, introducing Hobbs as his muscle could allow him to focus on his technical Prince style while the powerhouse handles the heavy lifting.

Moreover, debuting in front of a red-hot international crowd in Belfast could provide Powerhouse Hobbs with a viral moment that an ordinary SmackDown debut might not match. Whether he keeps the “Powerhouse” moniker or transitions to the rumored shortened name of simply “Hobbs,” his arrival in WWE seems inevitable.

If Balor is the one to bring him through the curtain this Monday, fans believe it won’t just be a debut; it will be a takeover. However, this angle is speculative.
