Jimmy Jacobs gone from AEW

Jimmy Jacobs has left AEW.

Bryan Alvarez has confirmed that Jacobs has left AEW. Fightful Select first reported Friday evening that Jacobs, who worked as a producer as well as being part of the writing team, resigned over the past week. According to the report, Jacobs had been burnt out as of late, and AEW is looking at the change as a way to freshen up the writer’s room.

Jacobs joined AEW as a producer in June of 2023. He was previously part of TNA’s writing staff and was also part of WWE’s writing staff until he was fired after posting a photo with himself and The Elite, who were shooting footage for their YouTube show near where WWE was holding an event.

During his time in AEW, Jacobs wrestled a few matches in Ring of Honor, where he had been a mainstay in the 2000s. After losing to Shane Taylor in a match back in September of 2023, he followed that up this past May with a loss to Satnam Singh, ultimately being pinned in under a minute.
