Jeff Cobb made his WWE debut at Backlash: St. Louis two weeks ago, and his ring name has now been changed to JC Mateo.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that Cobb’s ring name was originally supposed to be JC Matanza, a reference to his time in Lucha Underground as Matanza Cueto.
It’s unclear who owns the Matanza moniker, considering AAA was only an investor in Lucha Underground, not the owner.
Notably, WWE did not purchase the Lucha Underground footage or intellectual property when it acquired AAA.
Meanwhile, Cobb reportedly dislikes his new WWE ring name.
