rear WWE At Saturday’s Backlash PLE, the talk was consumed by an overbooked main event match between indisputable WWE champions John Cena and Randy Orton. Cena was fooled again at the festival of Bump and Run-Ins at Ref, just like Wrestlemania 41. With this talk a little dead, this time we can see other controversy over the night surrounding Jeff Cob’s debut during a fatal 4-way US Championship match.
Finally, Solosikore appeared, but he had a new WWE star for Jeff Cob. The crowd ran out to meet him, but WWE gave Jeff Cobb the most lazy thing of his debut. He is just another man of the Mangle version of Sikor’s pedigree, despite the fact that he is not part of Anoai’s family or Samoa.
Jeff Cobb’s WWE debut was awfully secret
Cobb tried to abandon his fans in his retirement talk on social media
- The arrival of Tama Tonga and Tonga Roa in the pedigree was reported before it happened.
- According to the report, Jeff Cobb said he signed with WWE.
- At 42, Cobb is still in the ring for several years.
In today’s age, it is impossible to keep almost every wrestling debut a secret. When Tama Tonga and Tonga Roa joined the pedigree of new versions of Solo Sicoa, their imminent arrival had already been reported. The same applies to the debut of brothers Penta and Rey Fenix this year at Raw and Smackdown. The fans who knew they were going to show up, but that didn’t stop us from cheering loudly when they did.
This year, there have been multiple reports that NJPW’s Jeff Cobb was signed by WWE, and his debut is imminent. Cobb tried to abandon his smart fans by posting on Twitter/X that he had retired, but no one bought it and we didn’t want to. At 42, Jeff Cobb hasn’t had much of a long time in the ring, but hanging his boots shouldn’t have been an option as he is still struggling to be in Prime.
Jeff Cobb’s arrival in WWE was a mimicry of his past debut
Cobb is not a part of Anoai, even Samoans.
- Jacob Fatu defended the United States Championship with the backlash.
- Jeff Cobb made his debut by attacking La Knight and supporting Fatt’s victory.
- Cobb was born in Hawaii, but was a Filipino and spent many years in Guam.
In the backlash, Jacob Fatu defended the US titles against La Knight, Drew McIntyre and Damien Priest. The latter two men passed through the table in the crowd, leaving only Fatu and the Knight. The Challenger puts the beat-up champion on the commentary desk, then goes to the top rope and is ready to drop down on his opponent just for Solosikoa to arrive and pull Fatu from the table. As La Knight approached his solo, a man shown only from behind attacked the Knight from behind the barrier. When the camera spotted his face, the crowd leapt out to look at Jeff Cobb when Michael Cole cried out about him being a hot free agent. It was cool to see Cobb recognized, but everything else about the moment felt pointless with its gloriousness.
The story is that Fatu didn’t know that Sikoa would pull out Cobb. Fatu does not trust him and allows him to set up a complete babyface turn and feud. And what purpose does Jeff Cobb serve in all of this? If you’re a casual fan, you might assume he’s another Samoan member of the Anoai family. no. Not only is Cobb not a member of the famous wrestling family, he is not a Samoan either. Although he was born in Hawaii, his roots were Filipinos and spent much of his formative years in Guam.
Jeff Cobb was a big name for NJPW.
Being a Solosicore muscle hurts the cock
- There was no reason for the storyline to place Jeff Cobb alongside Solo Cicor.
- Cobb becomes the background to the feud between Sicoa and Jacob Fatu.
- Jeff Cobb should have made his debut as a singles wrestler rather than a faction.
It feels a bit awful, as if WWE looked at Jeff Cobb and thought, “Well, he looks like a Samoan, so just leave him with the rest.” If he was Samoan or Anoai, he’s neither, so he’s a gimmick. Now Cobb becomes the quiet man in the background as the muscle of another person’s story. It’s a total waste of talent, especially if the version of Sicor’s pedigree is quite dead.
Jeff Cobb is the new Jacob Fatt. If he has the success that Fatu has, it works in the long run, but for now it is the lazy approach. Jeff Cobb competed for Guam as an amateur wrestler at the 2004 Olympics. He wrests everywhere, everywhere, in New Japan’s pro wrestling from Lucha Underground. At 42, he doesn’t have time to stand up and play his second fiddle. He is surpassing the man he now casts a shadow, as Jacob Fatu does.
Just because Jeff Cobb is from Hawaii doesn’t mean he needs to work in WWE Samoan business. They are not his family, and it is not his fight either. WWE would have been much better by putting him on his own and quickly maximizing his talent. Jeff Cobb is a talented wrestler, not a trick of other people’s storylines. Let’s hope WWE will do this as soon as possible.
