Despite sporadic appearances in recent years, his last significant match dates back to 2009 when Rey Mysterio bested him for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 25, prompting JBL to announce his retirement shortly after.
While he’s made occasional appearances, including a surprise stint at the WWE Royal Rumble in 2014, his wrestling endeavors have been largely dormant.
However, a recent social media post has sparked speculation about a potential comeback. Sharing a snapshot from the gym, JBL hinted at a resurgence, stating,
“20 years this week since JBL was created, went to gym for first time in a while – started thinking, this could be biggest comeback since the resurrection.”
While retired, JBL remains committed to WWE, often making appearances when called upon. Reports suggest that he’s slated to join other wrestling legends at WrestleMania XL, including Jimmy Hart, Ron Simmons, Kane, and Michelle McCool.
As anticipation builds for the event, fans eagerly await to see in what capacity these esteemed figures will grace The Grandest Stage of Them All this year.
Could JBL’s cryptic message hint at an imminent return to in-ring action, marking his “biggest comeback” yet? Only time will tell.
