10 stars who might sign with WWE in 2019

#7. Jeff Cobb

Jeff Cobb, Ring of Honor World Television Champion

Guam native Jeff Cobb had no idea that pro wrestling was different from amateur wrestling. he showed up at his first practice expecting to learn about headlocks and haymakers and wound up learning about single leg takedowns and ploughs instead.

Nevertheless, he discovered that he had an aptitude and love of the sport. He became a decorated amateur wrestler, so much so that he qualified for the Guam Olympic Wrestling team for the 2004 Olympics held in Athens.

Cobb switched from amateur to pro wrestling, cutting his teeth in the Hawaii territories as well as sporadic appearances in Northern California. He held the Premier championship for a lengthy reign and got on the radar of Lucha Underground. They masked him, made him the storyline brother of Dario Cueto. As the Monster, he won the Lucha Underground title in his first match, a title he would hold until Rey Misterio took it away, and ended his undefeated streak.

Cobb has most recently made appearances for both PWG and Ring of Honor. He also works dates for New Japan and was recently crowned ROH Tv champion...in his first match.

When asked about working for WWE, Cobb had this to say:

I never like to say never, but right now my goal and my focus is revolving around Ring of Honor, New Japan and PWG. That’s my focus and I try not to take too much focus away from it. I did sign a one-year contract [with ROH]. You never know what the future holds, but right now I’m very happy with where I’m at. I put all my effort into these three companies.

What he could bring to the table for WWE: Cobb brings to mind Michael Elgin and Samoa Joe, big men who can really move. In Cobb's case, his strong amateur background helps, as does his unique and powerful build.
