WWE Hall of Famer JBL recently shared some incredibly candid stories about his long and complex relationship with his former boss, Vince McMahon. He detailed two separate incidents where their relationship became strained, including one tense meeting where he thought they were “going to fight,” and another “come to Jesus” moment where he admits he was “100% wrong.”
JBL worked under Vince McMahon for over two decades, rising from a mid-card tag team wrestler to becoming the longest-reigning WWE Champion in SmackDown history. Their relationship, like many of McMahon’s bonds with his top stars, was filled with professional highs and personal challenges. These stories, shared for the first time, provide a rare glimpse into that dynamic.
