A top AEW star has made it known that he wants a shot at The Don Callis Family and is not taking no for an answer. He did so by directly confronting them backstage on the latest episode of Collision.

Powerhouse Hobbs returned last month after a more than six-month hiatus from the company. In his absence, he claimed that The Don Callis Family never checked up on him and seemingly discarded him from their ranks.

Tonight on AEW Collision, during a backstage interview with Renee Paquette, Don Callis and Konosuke Takeshita discussed the future of the AEW International Championship. Powerhouse Hobbs confronted them and claimed that after what they had done to him, he would tear them down, which started with Takeshita's title.

He wanted a title shot, and Callis mentioned how he was willing to give it to him for all he had been through. However, he told him to wait as The Alpha was booked for several matches worldwide. The veteran reassured him, saying he would double-check his schedule for when this would be.

As they walked away, Hobbs grabbed Don Callis' arm and sternly reminded him to get back to him regarding his title shot. It seems that he is adamant about facing Konosuke Takeshita for his title.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
