Report: Contract length on one of WWE’s signings in 2025
More details are out regarding one of WWE’s signings this year.
Jeff Cobb left NJPW earlier this year and signed with WWE, quickly associating himself with Solo Sikoa. According to a new Fightful report, Cobb signed a three-year deal, which will take him through the spring of 2028.
Cobb’s NJPW departure caused controversy at the time as he was one half of the IWGP Tag Team Champions. As a result, the company announced that those titles would be vacated. Cobb went on to have his final match in NJPW on April 19 against Hiroshi Tanahashi.
At Backlash, Cobb made his debut by helping Jacob Fatu retain the United States Championship against LA Knight. Cobb’s name was quickly changed to JC Mateo, and over the course of the year became part of Solo Sikoa’s MFT group with Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Talla Tonga.
On the most recent episode of SmackDown, the MFTs confronted The Wyatt Sicks. The confrontation ended up becoming a brawl, with everyone being thrown out of the ring except for Erik Rowan and Talla Tonga. The two traded blows until Rowan booted Talla out of the ring.
