'That's One Of The Biggest Free Agents On The Planet!' Jeff Cobb Makes WWE Debut At Backlash

During the match, Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre were taken out after a table spot in the crowd, leaving Jabob Fatu and LA Knight left alone in the ring. Knight had Fatu laid out on the announce table and went to the top rope, read to drop down on the champ when Solo Sikoa pulled him from the table. An upset Knight stepped down to the ringside area, yelling at Sikoa when a man was shown from behind clotheslining Knight. As the camera found the attacker's face, the crowd roared to see Jeff Cobb, with Michael Cole yelling, "That's one of the biggest free agents on the planet!"

Cobb then attacked LA Knight before sending him back into the ring, allowing Jacob Fatu to get the pin. Before he did, Jacob shot several confused looks at Sikoa and Cobb, with it apparent that he wasn't in on their plan and might not be happy with it. Fatu's inevitable babyface turn continues.

Who Is Jeff Cobb?

The fans in St. Louis knew who Jeff Cobb was, but if you don't, be prepared to meet another great wrestler. No, Cobb is not another member of the Anoa'i family. Instead, he's a New Japan Pro Wrestling great who has also wrestled in the likes of Lucha Underground and Ring of Honor.

His WWE signing has been a badly kept secret, with it having been reported that his debut was imminent despite him teasing on social media that he had retired.
