Jeff Cobb Teases Potential WWE Debut Against Injured Bronson Reed
Jeff Cobb, a former standout from New Japan Pro Wrestling, has been dropping hints about a potential WWE debut, sparking speculation about his first match in the company. After a successful run in the 2025 New Japan Cup and a reign as IWGP World Tag Team Champion, Cobb bid farewell to NJPW and has since been linked to WWE.
Reports of Cobb’s impending signing with WWE have been circulating for months, with his name popping up in internal company rosters and creative discussions. Following his departure from NJPW, Cobb initially joked about retirement on social media but has since alluded to his future in WWE, hinting at a possible opponent.
In response to a fan-posted video showcasing a past match between himself and the sidelined Bronson Reed in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Cobb expressed interest in a rematch, stating, “Let’s run it back if I come back big man @BRONSONISHERE.” Reed, despite being out of action since an injury at Survivor Series WarGames in late 2024, responded positively, indicating that he’s keeping tabs on the situation.
While WWE has not officially confirmed Cobb’s signing, the social media exchange between Cobb and Reed has generated excitement about what could be in store for the talented wrestler. Speculation is rife about whether Cobb will debut on WWE’s main roster or NXT.
Reports suggest that Cobb, at 42 years old, may skip NXT altogether and head straight to the main roster. However, there are also indications that he could spend time in NXT to bolster the roster’s star power and provide leadership to the male locker room. The wrestling world eagerly awaits Cobb’s next move in WWE.
Closing Statement:
As Jeff Cobb’s potential WWE signing looms, fans are abuzz with anticipation over his debut and the prospect of a showdown with the sidelined Bronson Reed, setting the stage for an exciting chapter in WWE’s ever-evolving landscape.
