Former WWE Champion John âBradshawâ Layfield recently teased on his Twitter that he would be replacing Booker T on commentary on SmackDown. Layfield later admitted that he was kidding, but expressed interest in a return to commentary if the job were available. During a recent interview with Raj Giri of WrestlingINC.com, JBL discussed how interested he was in a return to the announce booth.
âI am interested,â Layfield admitted. âThe 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 donât mean to mislead anyone, Iâm not working, so to speak, on Twitter. [Laughs.] I was simply having fun. The job does appeal to me, yeah.
âI never thought the job would come open. Thereâs only two jobs for color commentary in WWE and Jerry Lawler may be there for another 30 years and I hope he is. Heâs a great commentator. Booker moving to the general manager role opens up that job. But, that doesnât mean itâs not filled and I donât know it. It could be filled and they may already have plans for it â I donât know that. I havenât been offered the job. They havenât told me, âHey we want you to come work,â or anything. So, yeah, it does interest me and if they called, it certainly would be very tempting to do.â

I don't know about any of the rest of you all, but I'd like to see JBL back in WWE

Based on how he looked in the Legends attack on the "One Man band", he should just stay away.....

I liked JNL when he was with Ron Simmons but that's about it.

He's been talking about taking over Booker T's role as Smackdown commentator, he's retired as a active wrestler.
JBL & Mick Foley both were awesome commentators on Smackdown during their time.
