Jeff Cobb Makes Surprise AEW Debut on Dynamite, News on His Contract Status
Jeff Cobb has arrived in AEW.
We noted earlier tonight how it was announced during this week’s Dynamite episode from Austin, TX how AEW World Champion Chris Jericho had hired Cobb to take out Jon Moxley in a singles match on next Wednesday’s show. Jericho is set to defend his title against Moxley at AEW’s Revolution pay-per-view at the end of this month.
Cobb later made a surprise debut at the end of this week’s episode. The debut came after Moxley defeated Santana in tonight’s Dynamite main event. The Inner Circle attacked Moxley after the match and Jericho dropped him with a Judas Effect. Jericho then called Cobb out to the ring. Cobb came out to a reaction and then left Moxley laying after hitting a Tour of the Islands. Cobb celebrated with The Inner Circle to end the show.
Cobb vs. Moxley is still scheduled for next week. AEW is billing the ROH & NJPW star as a “hired gun” or a “bounty hunter mercenary” type. As noted, via PWInsider, Cobb has not signed with AEW as of this writing, and is still a free agent.
It was noted also that Cobb’s appearance on Dynamite was not a sign that AEW has a new working relationship with Ring of Honor or New Japan Pro Wrestling. Cobb was booked directly by AEW as he’s free to work anywhere he wants. There’s no word yet on if Cobb’s looking to sign with AEW or any other promotion soon, but we will keep you updated.
Cobb is currently scheduled to team with Dan Maff to face KENTA and Taiji Ishimori at ROH’s Supercard of Honor event on April 4 during WWE’s WrestleMania 36 weekend.

I really wish I could see Jeff Cobb vs Tom Lawlor at QPW's final show in California this Thursday, but I can not go due to work as I live in Nevada. However, this Friday I will be in Seattle at my first Defy show to see Jeff Cobb once again!  |

They need to sign him to a full time deal. He's one of the very few actually good workers left on the indies and if you let him get scooped up by New Japan or re-signed to ROH or even worse, thrown into the toy box in NXT that's a big time loss.

AEW has been absolutely outstanding as of late. Last night was high level PPV quality. These guys are on to something. Long range booking and setting up matches weeks/months in advance has really been a key for them. Segment after segment have been brillaint. AEW! Best US wrestling show by miles.

Best debut were those figures last night! Yes, can't wait to see the packaging Front/Back of the cards for this figure line. I tend to keep mine in the packaging for autos, etc. Will be adding those to my collections! |
