Nachdem sich der frühere WWE Champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield vor wenigen Wochen via Twitter einen Scherz erlaubt hat und verkündete, dass er bald als Kommentator zu SmackDown! zurückkehren wird, berichtet nun PWInsider, dass sich die WWE und JBL tatsächlich derzeit in Verhandlungsgesprächen bezüglich einer Rückkehr von JBL befinden sollen.
Auch JBL selbst äußerte sich vor wenigen Tagen in einem Interview mit WrestlingINC.com zu seinem Joke-Tweet sowie einer möglichen Rückkehr zur WWE:
"I am interested. The job has not been offered to me and I was just having fun with Michael Cole on Twitter. I think I said I was coming back. You know, I was having fun with Michael. I don't mean to mislead anyone, I'm not working, so to speak, on Twitter. [Laughs.] I was simply having fun. The job does appeal to me, yeah.
"I never thought the job would come open. There's only two jobs for color commentary in WWE and Jerry Lawler may be there for another 30 years and I hope he is. He's a great commentator. Booker moving to the general manager role opens up that job. But, that doesn't mean it's not filled and I don't know it. It could be filled and they may already have plans for it -- I don't know that. I haven't been offered the job. They haven't told me, 'Hey we want you to come work,' or anything. So, yeah, it does interest me and if they called, it certainly would be very tempting to do."
