Jimmy Jacobs has resigned from the AEW writing team.
The former WWE writer had worked closely with President Tony Khan since joining the Elite promotion back in June 2023.
Fightful Select is now reporting that the 40-year-old submitted his resignation over the past week and he has already finished up with the company.
Jacobs had been feeling burned out of late and the two sides remain on amicable terms despite his decision. The AEW officials are looking at this as an opportunity to freshen up the writers room.
Jimmy Jacobs\’ Writing Career
A former ROH star, Jimmy Jacobs ventured into writing when he joined the WWE creative team in March 2017. Chris Jericho has credited Jacobs for helping \’The List\’ get over during his 2016 run with the company.
Jimmy was fired from the promotion in October 2017. This came after Jacobs posted a photo with Bullet Club on Instagram during their \’invasion\’ of Raw. After his WWE departure, Jacobs returned to the independent circuit as a wrestler.
He made his TNA debut in November 2017. It was later revealed that the wrestling veteran was also working as a producer for the company.
Jimmy Jacobs would be included in the creative team of TNA later on as well. He remained in the position until June 2023, when he moved from Impact to AEW.
There is no word on what the former ROH tag champion is planning for his future. Though he has wrestled a few indie matches in the last few months. It\’d not be a surprise if we see him making a full-time in-ring return in coming times.
