Jeff Cobb Departs NJPW, Final Match April 19 Amid WWE Interest

Jeff Cobb is set to leave New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), with the company confirming his departure at his request. His final match is scheduled for April 19 at Korakuen Hall against Hiroshi Tanahashi, after which the IWGP Tag Team Championships he held with Callum Newman will be vacated. Reports suggest that Cobb is being pursued by WWE, with indications that he was listed on their internal roster prior to NJPW's announcement. Though his contract with NJPW expired earlier this year, he continued to compete as a free agent. NJPW expressed regret over Cobb's sudden exit and wished him well in future endeavors. Fans are speculating on Cobb's potential impact if he joins WWE, marking a significant shift in his wrestling career.
