JBL is done with appearing on WWE programming for the time being, with the Hall Of Famer not scheduled to appear regularly on company television for the foreseeable future, reports PWInsider's Mike Johnson.

This follows Bradshaw ditching Baron Corbin as his managerial client on this week's episode of Raw. JBL gave Corbin a dressing down backstage, saying he was getting in his own way following his latest defeat, which came to Dexter Lumis on Monday.

Corbin has endured a rotten string of luck between the ropes lately, eating successive one-on-one defeats to Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens, Johnny Gargano, and Lumis. Additionally, Baron was eliminated from this year's men's Royal Rumble in just seven seconds.

WWE brought JBL back into the fold as a regular television character in October 2022, utilising him as Corbin's manager. This new pairing saw Baron take on the 'Modern-Day Wrestling God' monicker, calling back to JBL's World Championship days, though the run ended up lasting only four months. A reinvention may now be on the cards for Corbin following the JBL split.

A former WWE Champion, JBL was inducted into the company's Hall Of Fame in 2020.
