Jeff Cobb Debuts, WWE Roster Sees Major Changes

Jeff Cobb, formerly of NJPW, debuted in WWE at Backlash by interfering in the United States Championship match and aligning with The Bloodline, aiding Jacob Fatu in retaining his title while using his real name. WWE has experienced significant roster changes, with releases including Dakota Kai, Braun Strowman, and others, reportedly to refresh the roster with NXT talent and for budget reasons under Triple H's direction. Chad Gable, as El Grande Americano, won the WWE Speed Championship from Dragon Lee, sustaining his unbeaten streak under the masked persona. The Street Profits, current Tag Team Champions, lost cleanly to Fraxiom on SmackDown, setting up potential new challengers. Former WWE star Indi Hartwell captured the House of Glory Women's Championship following her WWE departure. These developments mark a period of major transition and realignment within WWE's talent and storylines.
