In March of 2025, it was reported that WWE had had their eye on New Japan Pro Wrestling star Jeff Cobb. In an update, NJPW officially confirmed Cobb’s departure in an official website post…

“New Japan Pro-Wrestling has come to terms with the departure of Jeff Cobb at his request. With Cobb one half of the IWGP Tag team Champions, those titles have now been vacated. Cobb’s final match in NJPW will take place in Korakuen Hall on April 19 against Hiroshi Tanahashi.
