The Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, witnessed a wild moment at TNA Turning Point 2024 as WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield, aka JBL, made an unannounced appearance. In a night filled with action, the former WWE Champion stole the spotlight in a way only he could—with his signature Clothesline From Hell.
During the TNA World Championship match between “The Wanted Man” Nic Nemeth and Eddie Edwards, JBL emerged from the crowd in the main event’s climactic moments. The audience erupted as the legendary brawler stormed the ring, setting his sights on Bryan Myers, who was wearing a turkey suit. Without hesitation, JBL leveled Myers with a thunderous Clothesline From Hell, leaving the crowd in awe.
JBL then calmly exited the ring and walked up the aisle, disappearing backstage without uttering a word. The unprovoked attack on Myers adds yet another layer of unpredictability to JBL’s recent string of high-profile appearances across the wrestling world.
This isn’t the first time JBL has shaken things up in a major promotion recently. From his alliances in GCW’s Deathmatch Royalty stable alongside Matt Cardona to surprise appearances in promotions like MLW, AAA, and now TNA, the Texan powerhouse is proving he’s still a force to be reckoned with. While his motives remain unclear, JBL teased in previous interviews that “there is an endgame to all of this,” leaving fans speculating about what he could have planned.
As Nic Nemeth retained his championship, the ripple effects of JBL’s interference could have lasting consequences for both Myers and the TNA roster.
