Chris Jericho has finally found the help he was looking for ahead of the Forbidden Door III pay-per-view. NJPW TV Champion Jeff Cobb will team up with The Learning Tree on June 30.

Samoa Joe, Hook, and Katsuyori Shibata have challenged Jericho to a trios match for Forbidden Door. Previously, the FTW Champion had Big Bill and Bryan Keith as his allies, but Shibata injured Keith's arm. The injury has sidelined the upstart from the bout.

Earlier this week on Dynamite, Chris Jericho tried enlisting the help of Minoru Suzuki, someone who he has teamed up with in the past. Surprisingly, Suzuki turned down the offer, as he was not a fan of Jericho's new antics. He instead wanted to face the Canadian in a match for the FTW Championship.

Last night on Rampage, Jericho was shown talking to someone on the phone in a backstage segment. After taking the call, he revealed that he had found a third man for the upcoming trios match. The Learning Tree also promised to reveal his partner on Collision.

During a brawl with his Forbidden Door opponents, Chris Jericho was assisted by Jeff Cobb. He arrived and took out Hook, Joe, and Shibata, confirming that he was the third member of Jericho's team at the pay-per-view.

Will Jericho's team emerge victorious on June 30? Fans must stay tuned to find out.
