WWE Hall of Famer JBL (John Layfield) made his TNA Wrestling debut at the end of the 2024 Emergence PPV event.
JBL also participated in AAA’s Triplemania event in Mexico City, accompanying Nic Nemeth to the ring, and then appeared at a Game Changer wrestling show.
During an interview with Huge Pop, JBL explained why he has returned to the wrestling business after serving as Baron Corbin’s manager.
“I hope to do something. You mentioned Baron Corbin, and I feel bad because if you’re going to blame somebody, blame me. I’m the old guy. I don’t want that to be my last memory from wrestling. If my last memory was Rey Mysterio and 23 seconds, that’s how I wanted to go out. The Von Erichs were going into the Hall of Fame, it was in Texas. It was a perfect swan song. Then, I came back and it didn’t work. I don’t want that to be the last. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I have some ideas, but hopefully that won’t be the swan song.”
