24-time WWE champion set for major return at World’s Collide

Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, is all set to host Worlds Collide, an event co-produced by WWE and AAA. A popular star is reportedly slated to make his return to the Stamford-based company at the historic show slated for June 7.

According to a recent report from PWInsider, WWE Hall of Famer John 'Bradshaw' Layfield will make an appearance at Worlds Collide. The veteran has made several appearances at wrestling shows outside World Wrestling Entertainment over the last few months. Most recently, he showed up at AAA's May 31 show during Alberto El Patron's match against El Hijo del Vikingo.

JBL bid adieu to professional wrestling in 2009 after a successful career. He won the WWE Championship, United States Championship, Intercontinental Championship, and European Championship once each, in addition to his three Tag Team Title reigns and a whopping 17 Hardcore Championship reigns. He returned to the squared circle for a match only once, when he entered the 2014 Royal Rumble Match.

John "Bradshaw" Layfield also worked as a full-time commentator between 2012 and 2017 for WWE. Following his departure from the global juggernaut, the veteran has made sporadic appearances over the years, the most recent being earlier this year as the guest commentator for the match between Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston on the January 20 edition of Monday Night RAW.
