Fightful Select reported that WWE is interested in signing Jeff Cobb. This would be a huge move in the 2025 Free Agency race, one that has already started off hot with individuals like “Speedball” Mike Bailey, Ricky Saints, and Jordynne Grace being signed to new organizations. Bringing in Cobb would be a huge move for WWE and if that does come to fruition, here are 3 big matches fans will want to see.
Jeff Cobb is an amazing performer. The 2004 Summer Olympian may fly under the radar to some casual fans, but his catalog features several matches that will keep even the most casual fan glued to their seat. Cobb is known for pulling off some of the most ridiculous feats of strength during his matches, and seeing them happen on a major platform like WWE would be a testament to his 15-year career.
These are three of many dream matches that could happen with Jeff Cobb on the WWE roster.
Bron Breakker
If fans love their “MEAT” matches, Jeff Cobb versus Bron Breakker would be one for the ages. Even if they aren’t the tallest of the bunch, no one would dare tell either Breakker or Cobb that they don’t fit into the MEAT division. Fans who aren’t too familiar with Cobb would be surprised to see him keep pace with a performer who is 15 years his junior.
The news of WWE being interested in Cobb’s services expressed concern that WWE would not use him in the right fashion. But, say Breakker comes out of WrestleMania 41 still carrying the WWE Intercontinental Championship, pitting him against Cobb would be a perfect feud to introduce the latter to the WWE Universe.
Chad Gable
This match would pit a 2004 Olympian against a 2012 Olympian. The amount of technical wrestling in this match would be off the scale. Gable has shown that he’s a fantastic professional wrestler and sports entertainer, playing both sides of the coin very well. Having Gable bring in Cobb as his heavy hitter, only for the two to face off in a big match, would be a fun opportunity to put some excellent professional wrestling on display in WWE.
Jacob Fatu
You want a match that will be crazy from the first bell? Book Jacob Fatu to take on Jeff Cobb. Fatu and Cobb have battled against each other nine times in the past with varying outcomes for both men. Fatu’s emergence in WWE has some predicting that he will become a huge star for the company. It would be fun to see him go up against Cobb in a major company, and it’s a match that would certainly deliver.
