Hello there, my very good friends on today's wrestling news. A current A.W. Champion just jumped ship to W.E.

0:07.4

Has WrestleMania 42's women's main event been revealed?

0:11.1

We're jumping a lot of ships today because the top TNA act has jumped to A.W.

0:15.6

And John Cena says a lot of people thought his retirement match sucked. I'm Adam Wilborn.

0:20.8

And I'm Andy H. Murray. The H stands for Hobbes. Ah, and this is the news. That's who we're talking about in today's opening story. How could it be anyone else that we would talk? Imagine opening with any other story today. This came like a shot in, what's the Ozzy Osbourne song? Shot in the dark. Yeah, I think so. There you go. This morning. Shut in the dark. And you're to blame. That's the Aussie song, isn't it? That's Oz Jovi. Yes. So, like, I woke up, I watched my dynamite, I made my notes, and then I looked on Twitter and Powerhouse Hobbs is going to WWE. What? He's a current champion. How the heck does that work? Well, it works because on Dynamite they set up a Trillo's title match for collision, but I'll talk about collision in just a second. The ops currently have those bells, of course. But Fifell Select have come through with the big scoops here. Big night for Sean Ross Sapp last night. It was and yet people will sit on Twitter and tell you that Sean Ross Sap

1:14.5

never reports anything. Insane. But yeah, so Hobbs' contract expired at midnight with A.A.A.W.

1:21.6

And as being stand, A.A.W. had made him a very substantial offer to stay, apparently, but he

1:27.1

finished up tonight at the

1:28.1

collision taping after Dynamite. So presumably that finished before midnight, so it wasn't like a race

1:33.0

against time. Quick, quick, quick. I'm not contractually obliged to do the last five minutes

1:37.2

of this match. I'm out here. Imagine that, just bailing. Sorry, contracts up. See you later.

1:42.9

But WW sources have indicated that he is expected to join the company.

1:47.9

WW has had interest in him for ages.

1:50.1

So barring some unforeseen change, that's where he's going, it seems.

1:54.0

AW gave him what is called a huge offer.

1:57.5

Apparently he's leaving on good terms.

1:59.9

They've been negotiating for months and months and months

2:02.0

and it was a good offer but he wanted to test the

2:04.8

waters so presumably the WWE offer was really good as well

2:08.1

if they'd offered him £5.50 and a free pizza

2:11.8

every week he probably wouldn't go unless he's really into pizza

2:14.8

I don't know need them carbs when you're when you're as big as Will Hobbs, man.
