Keith is currently sidelined with an injury and unable to compete in the trios match. Jericho thought he could enlist the help of Minoru Suzuki on AEW Dynamite, but Suzuki instead challenged Jericho for the FTW Championship.
Jericho secured Cobb's services during the June 28th episode of AEW Rampage.
Jericho and Cobb previously worked together in AEW when Jericho brought in Cobb as a hired gun during his feud with Jon Moxley in February 2020.
Cobb is the reigning NJPW World TV Champion. He originally issued an open challenge for Forbidden Door, but that was never made official.
