Another Potential Spoiler for WWE Backlash – This Saturday’s WWE Backlash event in St. Louis, Missouri, may feature more than one major surprise. Following recent reports about a possible Cody Rhodes appearance, PWInsider now reports that Jeff Cobb is also expected to be present at the Premium Live Event.
According to the report, WWE sources believe Cobb will be in attendance for Backlash, although there is currently no confirmation that he will appear on camera during the broadcast. Still, his backstage presence is expected, and discussions regarding his WWE debut have reportedly intensified in recent weeks.
Cobb, a veteran powerhouse with a decorated international résumé, would be a major addition to the WWE roster. He competed in the 2004 Olympics representing Guam as a freestyle wrestler and later gained notoriety as Matanza Cueto in Lucha Underground. He also became a dominant force in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, where he was part of the United Empire faction and captured multiple titles, including the IWGP Tag Team and NEVER Openweight Championships.
His mix of Olympic-level grappling and explosive power makes him a standout athlete, and WWE appears ready to utilize his skill set soon. Although the timing of his on-screen debut remains unclear, the report confirms that WWE creative has been actively working on plans to integrate Cobb into storylines.
