BREAKING: JC Mateo and Tonga Loa Released From WWE

JC Mateo, formerly known as Jeff Cobb, and his MFT stablemate Tonga Loa have both departed WWE, according to Fightful Select and Cory Hays of Bodyslam.

Tonga Loa returned to WWE at Backlash France 2024, coming to the aid of Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga as part of the then‑Bloodline, later rebranded as the MFTs. He went on to win WWE Tag Team Championship gold alongside Tama Tonga after Jacob Fatu relinquished his half of the titles.

Later that year, Loa competed in WarGames against Roman Reigns, The Usos, Sami Zayn, and CM Punk, but suffered an injury during the match that sidelined him until Night of Champions 2025.

Before this run, Loa previously wrestled in WWE as Camacho from 2009 to 2014 before being released, later competing in TNA and then NJPW, where he joined Bullet Club.

Mateo debuted for WWE less than a year ago at Backlash 2025, assisting Jacob Fatu in winning the United States Championship and aligning himself with The Bloodline/MFTs. While he never captured a title during his short stint, he did defend the WWE Tag Team Championships on behalf of Solo Sikoa alongside Tama Tonga, though the pair ultimately lost the belts to Damian Priest and R‑Truth.
