WWE Hall of Famer JBL believes Vince McMahon’s time in wrestling isn’t over—just that his next chapter may not be with WWE.
Speaking on the latest episode of the Something to Wrestle With podcast, JBL was asked about McMahon’s future in the wrestling business. Given the choices of Vince being finished with wrestling, returning to WWE, or joining another promotion, JBL confidently picked the third option.
“Two. I would say two, that he finds himself in another promotion somewhere,” JBL responded. “I don’t know how he can keep himself from it. He loves to work… and he loves wrestling.”
JBL went on to explain that he believes McMahon’s hands-on, driven mentality will ultimately draw him back into a leadership role in the wrestling world—even if it’s outside WWE.
“He wants to deal with wrestlers, in my opinion. And I can see somehow in the next 10 years—hopefully he lives a long time, because it’ll be interesting—I can see him doing something with a wrestling company somewhere, just to show he can still do it,” JBL said. “Vince is not going to go quietly into the night and be a passive investor… He’s an operator, and I mean that in a good way. He loves to run things.”
While McMahon is no longer actively involved in WWE creative or management, he recently launched a new investment company, fueling speculation about where his interests may lie moving forward.
For now, McMahon’s wrestling future remains uncertain—but if JBL’s instincts are correct, a return to the industry in some capacity could be inevitable.
