John Charles Layfield (born November 29, 1966, Sweetwater, Texas, United States) is an American businessman, television personality and retired football player and professional wrestler better known by his in-ring name John Bradshaw Layfield. Layfield is currently a financial commentator and is featured regularly on Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. He is also employed by Northeast Securities as its senior vice president.
Bradshaw made his name in the WWE during the Attitude Era. He and Ron Simmons (also known as Farooq) formed a faction known as the Acolytes Protection Agency (APA) and won the tag team titles three times. In 2004, the APA separated and Layfield was rebranded as JBL, a rough-mannered, brawling, blustering, bad-tempered and bigmouthed Texas elite businessman, driven into the arena by limousine. The gimmick was built off of Layfield’s real-life accomplishments as a stock market investor.
Later that year, he captured the WWE Championship and held it for 280 days. A month before his in-ring retirement at 2009’s WrestleMania 25, he became Intercontinental Champion, which made him the 20th Triple Crown Champion and the 10th Grand Slam Champion in WWE history.
After his retirement, Layfield became an on-air commentator for WWE SmackDown. Layfield was inducted into the 2021 WWE Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2020.
