Update on Jimmy Jacobs Joining WWE

We noted before that Ring of Honor veteran Jimmy Jacobs is headed to WWE after WrestleMania 31 to begin working a creative job. There's a lot of speculation within WWE that Jacobs will start writing for NXT before making his way to the main roster creative team. Jacobs signing with WWE has been in the works for several months now.

ROH performer joining WWE's creative staff

Jimmy Jacobs is going to work for WWE in a creative capacity. Jacobs will be starting with the company after WrestleMania, and will be written out of ROH storylines beforehand.

Opinionated View- Well I guess that it explains Jacobs suddenly being desperate to win ROH title as it will set up some kind of title vs. career match. I'm happy for Jimmy because I think he's career had stalled out. And I'm happy WWE is hiring a wrestler and not just someone from Hollywood. Problem is even if Jimmy is a good booker he will still have to deal with WWE management.

ROH TV Report Eddie Edwards vs Kevin Steen Main Event

We begin this week’s show with a look at the piledriver by Michael Bennett to BJ Whitmer that led to the end of the match at All Star Extravaganza. That move would end the career of BJ Whitmer, when he made the announcement at Death Before Dishonor. BJ Whitmer may have ended his career, but he wants Jimmy Jacobs’ to continue.

We are in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and your announcers are Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness.

Match Number One: Jimmy Jacobs versus Silas Young

Young refuses the hand shake and he grabs the mic before the bell rings. Silas says for a minute he thought he was in Philadelphia. He thought he was in the birthplace of Ring of Honor. He says that he thought he was supposed to be in the city with the most loyal wrestling fans, but he sees a city of morons. It was a few short months ago when Jimmy tried to destroy this company. Now they cheer him like a bunch of idiots.

Silas says that what makes him sick is the fact that Jimmy went to BJ Whitmer when he was at the lowest point in his life and you used his pain for your gain. Now Nigel wants to give Jimmy the opportunity to prove that he is an honorable man. Silas says that he sees the typical pussified modern man of America. With the pink hair and make up, the fingernail polish, and his feminine little body. He will beat Jimmy in three seconds.

You can call him names or boo him, but every word coming out of his mouth is the absolute truth. The problem is that Jimmy is a self entitled person like everyone. You expect chance after chance. Is it because Mommy and Daddy made sure you got a trophy even if you finished last.

The bell rings and Jacobs waits for Young to turn around and Jacobs with a spear for the three count.

Winner: Jimmy Jacobs
