Jeff Cobb Talks His AEW Appearance Helping ROH

Jeff Cobb is technically still a free agent. He made waves when he made a pair of appearances for AEW back in February as Chris Jericho’s hired gun but he has yet to sign a contract anywhere.

Cobb has now discussed how his appearance in AEW has helped Ring of Honor on a recent episode of the ROH Strong podcast. Here is the full quote, courtesy of Fightful:

“January 1, my contract expired with ROH. I made it clear I want to stay and work with ROH because I believe in the company and direction. My goal was to stay, but this opportunity came up and I took it. I feel it was good for both parties because people that only watch AEW are like, ‘what’s Ring of Honor?’ Now they look at ROH and there are more eyes that wouldn’t have been on ROH that are there. I think it helped everybody in the grand scheme. It was fun. Good payday.”

Cobb also revealed who knew he would be appearing on Dynamite.

“Nobody knew that I was coming. It was maybe five or six people. Cody Rhodes knew, Jon Moxley knew. I came early because I had to do some behind the scenes stuff and everybody that came in during call time were like, ‘What are you doing here?’ It was fun messing with them.”

Cobb has been in Ring of Honor since the beginning of 2018. While he is currently a free agent, he believes he will sign a contract before long.
