He became a top draw on the independents before signing with <strong>Ring of Honor<\/strong> in late 2018. During his tenure with ROH, he captured the ROH World Television title for 222-days and worked with NJPW, where he won the NEVER Openweight Championship. His contract expired at the end of 2019 with ROH and Cobb is currently still working ROH as a freelancer, but that could all change if Cobb has signed on long-term with AEW. For now, Cobb is now slated to face Jon Moxley next week on\u00a0<em>Dynamite.<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The hired gun <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RealJeffCobb?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@RealJeffCobb<\/a> is ready to make a statement against <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonMoxley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@jonmoxley<\/a>! <\/p>\n<p>Get your tickets at <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5WsWwyDkwZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/5WsWwyDkwZ<\/a> or watch <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWDynamite?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AEWDynamite<\/a> LIVE every Wednesday night on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tntdrama?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@TNTDrama<\/a> 8e\/7c. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWonTNT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AEWonTNT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEWonTNT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@AEWonTNT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4YscZYIpfF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/4YscZYIpfF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/1227955984297054209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 13, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
