JBL Won’t Comment On WWE Contract Status, Says Speculation About Him Online Is ‘100% Wrong’
Over the past couple of months, John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL) has shown up in TNA Wrestling, AAA Lucha Libre, GCW, and MLW.
Much has been made of JBL’ status in wrestling, and whether or not he’s still under some type of contract to WWE as he makes these appearances.
Speaking on a Q&A with Sportskeeda, JBL was asked if he’s still under a deal with WWE.
“I’m going to answer this as politically correct, as correct as possible. I’ve never answered a question about my contract. I can tell you 100% this. I’ve seen speculation about me on the internet. It’s all wrong. 100% wrong. I’m not going to answer whether I am or not because WWE has always had a confidentiality clause in it. I’ve never thought it was good business to discuss my contract or anybody else’s. Sorry that I’m refusing to answer. The speculation about me has been wrong,” he said.
JBL has not appeared on WWE television since 2023.
He was recently called out by actor Paul Walter Hauser on MLW TV. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
