It was announced earlier this week that Jeff Jarrett is the newest inductee to the 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Class.
Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso reported earlier in the week that the person behind Jeff Jarrett’s push for this year’s HOF induction is none other than Triple H.
On this week’s episode of Bodyslam.net’s own, “Backstage in WWE with Brad Shepard and Jon Fisher”, Jeff Jarrett’s induction into this year’s Hall of Fame Class was brought up, which led to a discussion about Jarrett’s status with WWE and how he may be brought in to be part of Triple H’s new team. During the discussion Brad indicated that WWE may have more planned for Jarrett than just an HOF induction.
“It’s definitely something that came about this year. There was a list going around like he could be added. Mark Henry was on that list too. Based on the information as to what they’re doing for him behind the scenes it would appear he’s joining as well, but… Yeah it was very surprising and the source that had given me the Hall of Fame list was surprised by this. So the information kind of led me to believe without going into specifics, because I can’t – that yeah it was something from this year but recently like last minute. I don’t mean literally at the 12th hour of last week or something. I mean something this year and it would almost lead me to believe that it was in face a Triple H influence. You know, Jeff is tied to Jeremy Borash, who was just hired to be part of Triple H’s team. Kinda leaves me to believe there could be some credence to this. That whole relationship and him bringing Jarrett over, there is a possibility and Jarrett is not just a Hall of Fame inductee but there’s more to that.”
When the possibility of a weekly TV role for Jarrett was brought up, Brad indicated that it is very possible, but we will have to wait and see how things pan out.
“He could have a role in WWE behind the scenes or on TV, I think. We’ll see. Based on the information I have in the report in makes it seem like maybe he’s being brought in as part of Triple H’s team. I guess we’ll see. But it’s a surprise. It’s a total surprise and something that was not originally expected.”
