Wade Barrett wants to see JBL return to the ring.
JBL retired in 2009 and made a one-off return in 2014. He then had a run on commentary, and he has continued to make appearances over the years. In recent months, JBL has been on a remarkable run as he has made appearances in TNA, MLW, GCW, and AAA.
Speaking with AceOdds, Wade Barrett was asked about the buzz surrounding AJ Lee's potential return to the ring. He was then asked to name which retired superstar he would like to see return to the ring, and he named JBL.
"I’d definitely like to see AJ Lee return. I don't know where she's at physically or mentally if she wants to come back if she's motivated to do that but I think that would be an epic moment to have her walk back out if that was ever to happen. But somebody who's really caught my eye lately, one of my favorites of all time both in the ring and on the commentary, desk is JBL. Now I don't know what the hell is going on with JBL but if you look at his social media, he's been spending the last two or three months seemingly travelling around the world to every ring he can find in every country and going in and clotheslining the hell out of every independent wrestler he can find. He looks like he's been drinking from the fountain of youth. If he's motivated, I would love to see an in-ring return for JBL. I hope I'd be at the desk to call it because for large chunks of my career, he was astoundingly good as a commentator for my matches hyping me up and I would love to get that opportunity to repay that favor to JBL and watch him give somebody a clothesline from hell," Barrett said.
As of this writing, it is not known if JBL will return to the ring.
