His run in the company saw him compete mostly as a tag team star and didn’t feature in a singles feud. As it turns out, WWE’s original plans for the former NJPW star were quite different. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (WON), Dave Meltzer mentioned that Cobb was initially planned for a big push in WWE, which would have seen him work with some key people in solo feuds.

But these plans never materialized. Meltzer noted that for whatever reason, he became a face in the crowd of MFTs, with the focus on Solo Sikoa as the leader, Tama Tonga getting screen time, and Talla Tonga booked as a monster.

While Cobb did defend the WWE Tag Team Championship on behalf of Solo Sikoa in March of this year, he didn’t win any gold of his own in the promotion.

Another MFT member’s future in doubt in WWE

While it has been reported that another round of cuts may not happen for now, there is some doubt around the future of MFT member Tama Tonga.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez noted that even though Tama Tonga hasn’t been officially released right now, it seems he is gone too.

He talked about how JC Mateo and Tonga Loa are gone and how it was mentioned on WWE TV that the entire MFT is wiped out by Jacob Fatu, which could be an indication that the faction is done.

Alvarez added that he is not sure about Tama Tonga’s future at the moment. It remains to be seen if we will see the two-time WWE tag team championship on SmackDown this week.
