Gabe Kidd has an idea.
WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL) has been appearing throughout the wrestling world in recent weeks. He has made surprise appearances for AAA, TNA, GCW, and OVW. JBL notably popped up at the end of TNA Emergence and whispered something in TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth's ear.
NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Gabe Kidd has noticed the legend's buzzworthy tour, and he took to Twitter/X to share an idea. He tagged JBL and told him to come manage him in Japan when he's ready. Kidd said that they could change the game and smoke a cigar afterward.
YOOOO BIG DARG @JCLayfield

WHEN YOU READY
COME MANAGE ME IN JAPAN
LET’S CHANGE THE GAME AND SMOKE A CIGAR AFTER ------------------------------
JBL's stance on MJF might be a point of contention with Kidd. Kidd has repeatedly taken shots at MJF, but JBL recently praised the former AEW World Champion.
Kidd has also vowed to embarrass any American wrestlers who come to Japan. Click here to see what he had to say.
Kidd continues to reign supreme as the NJPW Strong Openweight Champion; he recently retained the title against Lio Rush at NJPW Capital Collision.
