"I will not be here next week" - When WWE star quit his job because of Sami Zayn

Since he retired from in-ring competition in 2009, WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL) has worked several jobs in the Stamford-based company. In addition to being a color commentator a few years ago, the 56-year-old was also a WWE agent. However, he quit his job as an agent because he did not want to continue working with Sami Zayn.

During an episode of Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw, JBL disclosed that although he loved Zayn, he could not stand The Great Liberator questioning every decision he made.

"I love Sami. I think his character's great, but I was his agent and everything was questioned... Sami is the nicest guy in the world, extremely talented, but when I worked with him as an agent, as soon as the match was over, I walked up to [Head of Talent Relations] John Laurinaitis and I said, 'I will not be here next week.' He said, 'Is it that bad?' I go, 'I'm doing commentary only!'" JBL said.

Last October, JBL became the manager of Baron Corbin after the latter moved from SmackDown to Monday Night RAW. However, he recently split from the Modern Day Wrestling God.

A Bloodline member allegedly did not want to work with Sami Zayn in WWE. Check out the details here.
