All Elite Wrestling has reportedly made a noteworthy hire.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reports that Jimmy Jacobs is backstage ahead of the June 14 episode of AEW Dynamite, and sources hinted that he would be helping out with creative. AEW will be launching its third weekly show, AEW Collision, on June 17, and the company has brought on Bryan Danielson and hired Will Washington to help with creative recently.
Since November 2017, Jacobs had been a key member of IMPACT Wrestling’s creative team. Jacobs appeared in a video on their Twitter account earlier in the day on June 14. Jacobs previously worked as a creative writer for WWE from March 2015 until October 2017. He was fired after he took pictures of The Bullet Club when the group did an “invasion” angle at a RAW taping.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer and Sapp both then confirmed that Jacobs left IMPACT and joined AEW.
