At WWE Backlash, there were plenty of surprises, especially during the thrilling Fatal 4-Way match. Jeff Cobb, a highly discussed free agent, made his debut. While his interference helped Jacob Fatu retain the U.S. Title, both he and the WWE Universe were equally shocked by his appearance.
The Samoan Werewolf defended his U.S. Title against Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre, and LA Knight in a Fatal 4-Way match at Backlash. From start to finish, the match was pure chaos. All four superstars were determined to take each other out. At one point, McIntyre and Priest brawled outside the ring and crashed through the table.
With McIntyre and Priest out of the picture, the battle came down to Knight and Fatu. Just as it seemed The Megastar was gaining the upper hand, Solo Sikoa stepped in and pulled his fellow Bloodline member to safety. The distraction was enough to catch Knight off guard, allowing Cobb to blindside him with a brutal clothesline.
To the fans’ surprise, Fatu looked genuinely shocked, as he didn’t expect Cobb to show up. The Samoan Werewolf had made it clear earlier that he didn’t need Solo’s help. However, Solo’s unexpected interference might be enough for Fatu to turn against him. With Cobb now in the picture, fans believe he and Solo could soon attack Fatu and kick him out of The Bloodline.
Fans react to Jeff Cobb’s introduction to The Bloodline at WWE Backlash
The WWE Universe didn’t expect Cobb to make his debut at Backlash. Last year, another Bloodline member, Tonga Loa, debuted and helped Solo’s team win. While some fans were excited about what’s next, others were growing tired of the same outcome.
One fan joked that it felt more like “Samoan Wrestling Entertainment” than World Wrestling Entertainment. Another quickly pointed out that Jeff Cobb is Hawaiian, not Samoan. Meanwhile, some fans were excited about a potential future showdown between Cobb and Fatu. Here are some of the top fan reactions:
One user predicted that The Samoan Werewolf might turn face soon. Another said the Bloodline storyline feels like it may never end. One fan mentioned missing Tama Tonga and hoped to see him back in the ring soon. Many fans also expressed disappointment, feeling that Cobb should’ve debuted as a singles star.
