JBL Teases Big Plans: “I’ve Got Some Stuff Coming Up That I Think Is Pretty Cool”

JBL is embracing a new chapter in his storied wrestling career, revealing that he’s been making waves on the independent scene and social media with exciting plans on the horizon. The WWE Hall of Famer, known for his time as a dominant champion and commentator, has found fresh passion in returning to his roots and taking control of his career.

Speaking on the Something To Wrestle With podcast, JBL credited Bruce Prichard with inspiring his current ventures, saying, “Bruce gave me the whole game plan. I won’t give you what everything Bruce told me. I told him I was bored and I wanted to do something. Bruce laid out the entire game plan of what he did, about what guys have done, to create interest, to create something that’s worthwhile and something that is worth seeing.”

JBL revealed that his work on the independent circuit and social media has been strategically planned and is just the beginning. “All this stuff that I’m doing on independents, this stuff that I’m doing on social media, I’ve got some stuff coming up that I think is pretty cool,” he said. The former WWE Champion hinted at more to come but kept specifics under wraps, adding a sense of intrigue for fans who have missed seeing him in the wrestling spotlight.

Despite not staying in close contact with Prichard recently due to his busy schedule, JBL said that the advice he received from Prichard has fueled his current success. He noted, “Bruce is the one who gave me the game plan for all this. All this stuff that I’m doing on independents and social media… there is an end game to this.”

JBL also expressed how much joy this phase has brought him. “I’m having the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. I love this business so much, and I have missed being in the business. It’s so fun just to be around the guys, and it’s so fun just to be in arenas, be around wrestling rings, be around fans. I love this business and I’m not ready to go off into the sunset yet.”

The wrestling world will be watching to see what JBL has up his sleeve as he continues to fuel excitement both online and in the ring.
