Jimmy Jacobs wasted no time returning to the independent scene after leaving AEW.
According to Fightful, Jacobs resigned last week due to burnout. AEW is considering the change as a way to refresh the writer’s room. Jacobs joined AEW as a producer in June 2023.
While with AEW, he worked a few matches for ROH, where he had previously wrestled. He hasn’t wrestled since May, when he lost by a minute to Satnam Singh.
Jacobs has previously worked for WWE and TNA’s writing teams. He was let go by WWE after posting a photo of himself and The Elite while the wrestlers were filming BTE near a WWE event.
As seen below, Jacobs made a surpirse appearance at the October 12th XICW Detroit event. He hit MM3 with a chair to help Adam Wick win the Midwest Championship.
