WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield is not slowing down. After a year that saw him make waves across multiple wrestling promotions, JBL has revealed that he’s gearing up for something even bigger in 2025. While speaking on the “Something To Wrestle With” podcast, the wrestling legend dropped hints about his future, promising fans that he’s “going all in” on a venture that could either be a massive success or a spectacular failure.
“I got some really cool plans that are starting to come to fruition starting fairly soon,” JBL stated, adding, “I think I have a really cool idea and some good people to do it with.” While keeping the specifics under wraps, he confirmed that his plans will be put into action this year. “This year, it’s going to be attempted. I can tell you that. 100% sure it’s going to be attempted, and whether it works or not, we’ll see. I think it will. I’m working my ass off right now to make it happen.”
Looking ahead to next year, JBL was even more emphatic. “In 2025, I have a couple of really big things, not only tentatively planned, but scheduled and in the calendar planned that I’ve got down. I’m building stuff around it right now to try to get to those two different places.” The “Wrestling God” is clearly mapping out a specific path, leaving fans to speculate about what these “two different places” might be.
The most intriguing part of JBL’s announcement is his willingness to embrace risk. “And so, yes, there’s I got something huge that I’ve been planning, as you know, for the better part of a year of wanting to do stuff, and that it’s going to all come to fruition. And either it’s going to work big, or I’m going to go down in flames. One of the two, I don’t care. I’m I’m going all in.”
JBL’s ambitious plans for 2025 come on the heels of a busy 2024, where he has already made his presence felt in several promotions, including GCW, TNA, MLW, and AAA.
