Jeff Cobb Reflects on His WWE Experience and MFTs

Jeff Cobb, known for his wrestling career in Japan, made his WWE debut as JC Mateo, which initially generated excitement among fans. However, his time with The Bloodline and later the MFTs faced skepticism, and his opportunity to gain momentum ended with his release on May 2, 2026.

In a recent interview, Cobb reflected on his WWE journey, acknowledging that while it wasn't everything he had hoped for, he cherishes the friendships and experiences gained during his time there. He recognized the criticisms of his brief stint but chose not to assign blame, instead focusing on the positive aspects of his experience.

Cobb also discussed the MFTs, expressing that while the concept seemed promising, he found WWE's characterization of him as Tongan inaccurate, as he identifies as Hawaiian. He appreciated the camaraderie with his stablemates and highlighted the support they provided each other. Despite some discomfort with certain aspects of his character, such as wearing face paint, Cobb made the best of his situation and expressed gratitude for the backstage staff who often go unrecognized.
