Last weekend at the Lucha Libre AAA TripleMania 32, a WWE Hall of Famer made a surprise appearance at the show. It was none other than John Bradshaw Layfield. JBL showed up to stay in the corner of the TNA World Heavyweight Champion Nic Nemeth. Nemeth defended his AAA Mega Championship against Alberto El Patron.
Recently, while speaking to SlamWrestling.Net, the WWE Hall of Famer JBL reflected on his surprise appearance. He mentioned that it was a lot of fun sneaking into Mexico.
“It was a lot of fun sneaking into Mexico. You know, a lot of people talk about how people are sneaking across the border. I’m actually one of the few people that snuck into Mexico, and I think Mexico is now going to build a wall and ask for the Texans to pay for it, because it keeps Texans out of Mexico,” JBL said.
JBL also shared that he was trying to trick people into thinking he was Tinieblas Jr. Layfield had walked around wearing the same mask as Tinieblas Jr. He was happy that the plan worked to an extent.
“When I walked in, people thought I was actually him because he worked for a different company, until I forgot, of course, being dumb like I am, that I’m not supposed to speak English,” chuckled JBL. “Some fans rushed me for an autograph. I go, ‘Not right now’ in a Southern accent. They look at me like, he just learned English somehow. It freaked them out.”
Despite the involvement of John Bradshaw Layfield, Nemeth was unable to capture the victory, and as a result, Alberto El Petron became the new AAA Mega Champion.
