How Jeff Cobb Might Be a Part of the New Bloodline in the WWE?

Jeff Cobb has allied himself with Solo Sikoa after making his WWE debut at Backlash 2025. He viciously attacked LA Knight and helped Jacob Fatu to remain the United States Champion. Cobb might become a member of the Friday Night SmackDown roster for this. He can also become Solo Sikoa’s new enforcer.

This might further increase the dissent among Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. Jacob Fatu wants to do things on his own and does not like interferences during his matches. He did not like the ending of his match at Backlash. Jacob Fatu moreover considers himself to be a fighting champion despite being a heel presently. However, he is one of the most cheered wrestlers in the WWE, which might bring about a change in his character in the future. He might turn against Solo Sikoa and The New Bloodline and become a babyface in the process. This might result in a feud between Jacob Fatu and Jeff Cobb in the future.

It will be interesting to see Jacob Fatu and Jeff Cobb beating the hell out of each other inside the ring for the United States title. Notably, both of them are absolute powerhouses and brutal inside the ring. However, only time will reveal how the WWE uses Jeff Cobb as the newest member of The New Bloodline.
