John Laurinaitis has not been involved in professional wrestling ever since his exit from WWE back in 2022, and especially not since his mention and involvement in the ongoing Vince McMahon sex trafficking lawsuit, of which he was dropped from last year after agreeing to cooperate with Janel Grant’s team. 

Many were surprised in recent weeks when John Laurinaitis was announced for an appearance at Big Time Wrestling’s event March 14. Speaking on the Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling podcast, Laurinaitis revealed that he wants to help young talent going forwards in Big Time Wrestling. 

“I think the way Big Time Wrestling — and I’ve had discussions with Bobby (Fulton) and Dillon (Hines), and you know, what they’re looking to do is make it a place to be, so to speak. In other words, there’s ideas of maybe having international talent come in, having more high-profile names come in, and I’m really looking forward to their future, and hoping that somehow I can be part of that, whether it’s behind the scenes or help them with promoting and stuff like that because I think the more places for talent to work, the better opportunity it is for the business and I don’t know if everybody realizes this but, I ran the developmental system for WWE for 20 years. So, my one love is to help and develop and groom young talent, and that’s what I think is the strategy for Big Time Wrestling now is to find younger talent and develop them into the stars of tomorrow.”

Laurinaitis was accused in the lawsuit of engaging in appropriate activities such as sexual assault.
