Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Jimmy Jacobs is no longer working at WWE and the final straw seems to have been a picture he recently took with Bullet Club outside of Raw.

Sources say Jacobs made his exit last week, but we’ve been unable to confirm if he was released or not. We are told, however, that there was major heat on Jimmy for posting an Instagram picture of himself meeting with BC while they filmed Being the Elite last month (seen below).

As we previously reported, WWE officials were much angrier than anybody expected after Bullet Club’s “invasion” and it lead to them sending The Young Bucks a legal letter.

Strange how a couple 'vanilla indie midgets' got WWE so hot they fired someone for associating with them.

The only thing YOU'RE GONNA DO.... is bite the BULLET.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

anyone who hangs out with the young bucks should be fired

 

[LastManStanding]

taking the picture was fine, but posting it on Instagram as an employee of WWE is what did it

that would be like a Coca Cola exec posting a picture with a Pepsi in his hand

of course you're gonna get fired

 

[LurkNowitzki]

Couldn't have possibly thought that one through.....back to the indies you go.

Vince just mad about all them Bullet Club shirts in his half empty arenas.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Buy the t-shirt

Unprofessional

The IG post cosigned something that initially appeared innocent and hilarious, but with hindsight, and since WWE is clearly going petty like WCW...this is not surprising.

The move is a pyrrhic victory, legitimizing their competition by becoming aggressive so suddenly. I guess all those BC shirts in the crowds finally got to them. I'd even venture to say Cody won't be welcome back any time in the foreseeable future.

That said, bank on this having an unpleasant effect backstage. Jimmy was well liked, especially by ROH vets. This won't cause people to leave to go to competition, but in future years, it will be cited as a factor.

Just saw these guys signed a deal for Funko Pops

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Since they're firing writers can they go ahead and finally fire Road Dogg?

WWE having standing offers for every American member of the Bullet Club, including Tanga Loa who they released 3 years ago, proves that the bullshyt most of y’all type about vanilla midgets and ‘lack of charisma’ isn’t believed by Vince & Paul.

Rollins, Owens, and Zayn in particular.

Oh I bet Cody is gonna get a huge offer at this point. That’s how Vince works. I expect a raid attempt every January until NJPW ain’t hot anymore
