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 the backstage producer 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.

A rep for WWE had no comment.

Unfortunate for him. Tagging the photo as BCInvasion definitely wasn't going to do him any favors, especially given it was the week of or after all that C&D stuff.

Edit: Kinda reads like the guy was already on his way out and this was just the final nail.

Honestly, that Jacobs thing is dumb on all sides. I have no idea why he thought that as a random writer working for an insanely image conscious company that would be a good idea.

And hopefully the Bucks don't start making a big deal out of this or putting shirts out because that's only making things worse for everyone who still works there.

Probably would have all come to nothing if they didn't reveal that WWE gave tickets away.

I mean, in fairness, I could see how that was a poorly calculated decision on the part of the BC people.

All I'm saying is that a lot of the outrage is mostly just a weird way of perceiving the issue in that people are presumbly more upset because they perceive the Bullet Club as harmless just because they like them. If Sami Zayn posted pictures of himself on the set of the Final Deletion, people would think that was a dumb call on his part too. Paige allegedly appeared at a TNA taping and knew enough to disguise herself and not post a bunch of photos that she was doing it. That BC was actively dumping on WWE's product at the same time doesn't help.

Just to let everyone know, the Jimmy Jacobs story is accurate about him not being w/WWE and reason listed by PW Sheet is 100% on the money
