In this latest clip from Takedown, Garrett Gonzales and Paul Fontaine dive deep into the shocking news of Jeff Cobb’s (formerly JC Mateo) release from WWE. After a head-scratching run as a powerhouse in the MFT stable, Cobb finds himself a free agent once again, leaving fans and analysts wondering what went wrong during his tenure in Stamford.
Garrett and Paul discuss the baffling way WWE utilized—or rather, misused—Cobb. From his debut alongside Jacob Fatu to his time in the Bloodline-adjacent MFT group, the duo explores why WWE would sign an Olympic-level talent only to fail to position him as a cornerstone of the roster. Was it a creative mismatch, or a symptom of the larger roster restructuring currently happening under the TKO era?
The big question remains: Should Tony Khan and AEW make the call?
Garrett and Paul are in full agreement—if Jeff Cobb is interested, AEW should sign him the moment his 90-day non-compete clause expires. Given his previous history with the Inner Circle and his standout performances in the G1 Glimax and NJPW, Cobb represents a "can't-miss" signing for a promotion that values elite-level in-ring work.
