AEW’s partnership with NJPW has paid off in a huge way, especially thanks to their first-ever Forbidden Door crossover event last year. With the second one set to take place in Toronto this Summer, it seems an NJPW star has already teased making an appearance on AEW Dynamite soon.
Kenny Omega, one of the most dominant wrestlers in the industry, claimed the IWGP United States Championship after a spectacular match against Will Ospreay at Wrestle Kingdom 17. As the dust settled after the intense bout, Omega’s next challenger seemed to have emerged.
Jeff Cobb, a talented wrestler in his own right, has been calling out Omega for weeks, eager for a shot at the coveted title. Following his recent New Japan Cup final match, Cobb spoke candidly about his pursuit of Omega and the backlash he faced from fans on social media.
In a fiery speech, Cobb made it clear that he had his sights set on Omega and was willing to do whatever it takes to challenge him for the title. Despite facing criticism from fans online, Cobb refused to back down, knowing that the real battle would take place in the ring.
“When my New Japan Cup ended, I set my sights to my goal before the New Japan Cup started, and that is you, Kenny. I tried countless times for you to accept the challenge from me. I’ve done everything. I’ve mocked you. I copied you, I mimicked you, and nothing came about it. The one thing that did come about it was a lot of backlash, Kenny.
The funny thing is, it wasn’t backlash from you. It was backlash from Twitter people. Honestly, to be quite honest with you, it shook me. For Twitter to be angry at me because I mimicked and I teased Kenny Omega. I’ve come to the conclusion that I really could give a f*ck what Twitter thinks.
You see, Twitter isn’t a real place. The real place is in that ring. Now Kenny, you have been dodging me and dodging me and f*cking dodging me for a month. Yeah, I said it. Twitter is f**king fake. Kenny Omega/Jeff Cobb, that’s real.
Jeff Cobb teased that he would be heading to St. Louis, where he would seek out Omega and make his intentions known. Determined to prove himself, he vowed to knock on Omega’s door and challenge him face-to-face.
“Now Kenny, you can either accept my challenge, which you haven’t done in multiple, multiple, multiple times. So the last and final warning, it’s not even a warning, I am telling you firsthand, I’m coming to St. Louis, and I’m gonna knock on your door. “I’m gonna find the EVPs’ dressing room, knock on it, and see if you let me in because I’m done with the trash-talking. I’m done with Twitter attacks because we all know how you handle, oh so well, verbal beatdown. “So Kenny, I’ll see you in St. Louis. Knock, knock, knock, Kenny. Let me in, please.”
March 29th’s episode of AEW Dynamite is set to be held in St Louis, Missouri. We will have to wait and see whether Jeff Cobb will appear next week on AEW Dynamite.
