On this week’s WWE Monday Night Raw, WWE Hall of Famer JBL returned to WWE as Baron Corbin’s manager. He interestingly called him “Baron,” showing his name was changed from Happy Corbin. Corbin defeated another returning star Dolph Ziggler in an impressive matchup soon after.
According to the Fightful Select reports, it appears that the JBL’s return, although surprising to fans, was not a secret internally. WWE didn’t keep the return under wraps and included it in the internal list throughout the weekend. While Triple H could not be present because he tested positive for COVID-19, Road Dogg ran the show.
This indicates that WWE didn’t intend to protect JBL’s surprise return like other stars in the past. WWE has previously kept results and returning stars as secrets before. As per the PWInsider reports WWE Hall of Famer JBL will continue to make WWE Raw appearances in the coming weeks.
