JBL, at the age of 50 will dedicate his life, to helping kids and communities at risk. He will still be a part of WWE programming, albeit in a minimal role, appearing on shows such as Tribute to the Troops and even at Wrestlemania.

We wish him all the best and hope he finds contentment in this new chapter of his life.
