After weeks of speculation, Jeff Cobb has finally arrived in WWE as he laid out one of the company’s top stars.

Jeff Cobb recently left NJPW after seven years with the company, and it became immediately apparent that the powerhouse was on his way to WWE.

His hurried departure from NJPW had many believe his arrival at WWE was imminent, but as WrestleMania came and went, there was no sign of them. But that all changed at Backlash.

Jeff Cobb Helps Jacob Fatu At Backlash

At Backlash in St. Louis, Jacob Fatu put his WWE United States Championship on the line in a huge fatal four-way against Damian Priest, LA Knight, and Drew McIntyre.

Late in the bout, Knight had the chance to drop his elbow through a prone Fatu, who was lying on the commentary table. However, Solo Sikoa stopped that from happening. As Knight went after Sikoa, Jeff Cobb nailed Knight with a huge clothesline. However, Jacob Fatu looked very confused about Cobb’s intervention, leading to more dissension in The Bloodline. Fatu ultimately hit his moonsault to retain his gold.
