Jimmy Jacobs Returns To The Indy Scene Following AEW Departure

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.
