Jeff Cobb to join forces with absent WWE Superstar and betray the Bloodline? Potential explored

Jeff Cobb made his WWE debut at Backlash on May 10, 2025. He intervened during the high-stakes Fatal Four-Way for the United States Championship by attacking LA Knight. This distraction allowed Jacob Fatu the opportunity to pin and retain his title.

Cobb's actions at Backlash indicate that he has aligned himself with the Bloodline, but that could be far from the truth. It seems that Solo Sikoa reached out to the former NJPW star for the interference, and the 42-year-old star used the opportunity to land himself a spot on one of the hottest creative angles in WWE.

Now that he is in the headlines, WWE's newest superstar can betray Sikoa and Fatu and align himself with a returning Bronson Reed. The 330 lbs star suffered an injury during the WarGames match at Survivor Series last November. Reed joined forces with The Bloodline, led by Solo Sikoa, to take on the OG Bloodline and CM Punk last year. Fans loved the Aus-Zilla's addition to the Samoan group, with many suggesting that he should become an official member of the group.

It seems like Solo Sikoa has forgotten about Reed's contribution to the Bloodline last year. When the former NXT North American Champion returns from his injury, he can explain his frustration by claiming that The Street Champion was attempting to replace him by bringing in Jeff Cobb, and the latter can refuse to be just another pea in the same pod.

Together, Cobb and Reed can go up against Sikoa, Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa (whenever he returns). In fact, WWE can schedule a tag team match between Cobb & Reed and Sikoa & Fatu.

This will allow The Samoan Werewolf to take a creative break from Knight, McIntyre, and Priest and maybe even set up the stage for a betrayal by Fatu after the tag team match. Finally, this can lead to Jacob Fatu vs. Solo Sikoa for the United States Championship.

As of now, this is all speculation, and fans have to wait and see how the company books Jeff Cobb in the Bloodline.
