Folks, the floodgates are open. WWE has already swiped Penta, Ricky Starks, and Jordynne Grace, but guess what? They’re not done.
Now, it’s official—Rey Fenix is in (finally), and Jeff Cobb is reportedly WWE-bound after being listed internally on their roster. AEW? Shocked. NJPW? Probably furious. WWE? Just casually collecting top-tier talent like Infinity Stones.
Rey Fenix: Delayed But Not Denied
Fenix’s arrival has been a long time coming. He and Penta were both set to leave AEW last summer, but Tony Khan pulled a classic move—extending Fenix’s contract due to injury. (Some call it business. Others call it hostage-taking.)
Now, though? Fenix is free. He’s getting his WWE medicals done, and that cryptic SmackDown vignette? Yep, that was him. Expect lucha madness incoming.
Jeff Cobb: NJPW’s Loss, WWE’s Gain
Meanwhile, Jeff Cobb has quietly slipped away from New Japan, likely fed up with his lack of wins. After getting bounced from the New Japan Cup by Shota Umino, the writing was on the wall. And now? Multiple sources confirm he’s already listed on WWE’s internal roster.
Final Thought
WWE is stockpiling talent, AEW is taking Ls, and NJPW is losing a powerhouse. With Fenix and Cobb on their way in, who’s next?
Stay tuned—because WWE’s not done yet.
