JBL Likes The Idea Of Teaming With Jeff Jarrett

Former WWE Champion JBL has been enjoying a resurgence this summer, much like Jeff Jarrett. Over the weekend, JBL stunned the wrestling world when he showed up in GCW and delivered two Clotheslines from Hell to Effy. His actions helped Mance Warner retain the GCW World Championship in a ladder match, ‘flexing’ that he can still have a big influence whenever he chooses.

Jarrett could be credited with setting the blueprint for veteran wrestlers stepping back into the spotlight in unexpected settings. Jarrett famously sparked a feud with Effy in Game Changer Wrestling, smashing him over the head with a guitar. Jarrett’s since made multiple appearances for AAA. JBL followed suit there as well, accompanying Nic Nemeth to the ring for his AAA Triplemanía XXXII Mega Championship match against Alberto El Patron.

Since Jarrett busted that guitar over Effy’s head that fateful night, the third generation star has seemingly been everywhere. From Ric Flair’s Last Match to Wembley Stadium for AEW, fans seemingly can’t get enough.

JBL & Jeff Jarrett: The Last Outlaws

The parallels between Jarrett and JBL have not gone unnoticed. One fan recently suggested how exciting it would be to see these two legends team up. JBL didn’t hesitate to agree.

When the fan asked, “Could you imagine the formation of The Last Outlaws?” JBL replied, “Yes I could.”

With their shared history and recent ventures, the possibility of a JBL and Jeff Jarrett partnership is an exciting prospect for wrestling fans.

Bradshaw and Jarrett’s History

Throughout their decades-long careers, JBL and Jeff Jarrett have crossed paths numerous times, but they’ve never teamed up together.

Notable encounters include Bradshaw’s victories over Jarrett by disqualification on WWE’s RAW in 1998 and 1999, as well as their matches for the NWA North American Heavyweight Title, where Bradshaw defeated Jarrett in February 1998.

Despite these numerous clashes, the idea of these two seasoned veterans finally joining forces presents is an opportunity that is (hopefully) too good to pass up.

Will JBL Come Out of Retirement?

John Bradshaw Layfield retired from active competition a decade ago, but his recent wrestling appearances and these comments to Slam Wrestling last week indicate he’ll dust off his feared Clothesline From Hell again.

“I’m looking for an investment and looking maybe to do something with AAA, and I don’t know. We’ll see. I enjoyed what they did. There’s whatever the crowd capacity was, the building was full. 15, 20,000 people, and they drew a heck of a crowd.”
