One of the most talked-about signings of WWE in 2025, Jeff Cobb, already has his future secured within the company. New details revealed by Fightful Select confirm that the former New Japan Pro Wrestling champion signed a three-year deal that will link him to WWE until the spring of 2028.

Cobb's signing became a recurring topic for months. Sean Ross Sapp reported earlier this year that the wrestler would leave NJPW to join WWE, but still managed to win the IWGP Tag Team Championship - alongside Callum Newman - before ending his commitment. His arrival in WWE was soon finalized, and his current role on the blue brand has been crucial from the very beginning.

Sources from WWE confirmed that Cobb 'signed a three-year deal upon arrival', ensuring his presence in the company for several seasons.

Since his debut, Cobb has fully integrated into Solo Sikoa's faction, MFT, establishing himself as a strong piece within the stable's new phase. His presence has provided an additional boost to the group, reinforcing the dominance that Sikoa and his team have sought to impose on SmackDown.

With his contract secured until 2028, WWE seems to be betting long-term on Cobb, who also arrives at a crucial moment for the structure of the blue brand. For the wrestler, it marks the beginning of a new chapter in a career marked by international successes and a style that fits perfectly into the American division.

It remains to be seen how his role within MFT will evolve and what his impact will be on rivalries heading into the next year, but what is already certain is that Jeff Cobb will be a fixture on SmackDown for a long time.
