Lucha Underground star Jeff Cobb has been pulled from wXw’s upcoming 16 Carat Gold tournament in Oberhausen, Germany. The event takes place on March 9th-11th and this will clash with Lucha Underground’s television tapings, where of course Cobb will reprising his role as Matanza Cueto.

Replacing Cobb will be EVOLVE and PROGRESS star Keith Lee. The man that asks you to “Bask In His Glory” blazed through the independent scene last year and now he is part of arguably the biggest tournament in Europe outside of PROGRESS’ Super Strong Style 16.

Due to the Lucha Underground tapings @RealJeffCobb has been forced to withdraw from #wXw16Carat despite all efforts. Replacing him will be @RealKeithLee – we are happy to welcome one of the hottest independent heavyweights to his very first events in Germany pic.twitter.com/py4aczo8Rl — wXw Germany (@wXwGermany) January 24, 2018
