Jeff Jarrett, the WWE Hall of Famer, has played a significant role in AEW as the Director of Business Development while continuing to compete in the ring. His involvement extends beyond AEW, as he previously made notable contributions to major wrestling organizations like WWE and TNA. Recently, Jarrett was central to a storyline in early 2025, which hinted at his retirement, although the angle ended prematurely following an interruption involving MJF. Additionally, Jarrett was part of the analytics panel at the All In: Texas event held last Saturday.
AEW publicly celebrated Jarrett’s 58th birthday on their official X (Twitter) account, reflecting his esteemed status within the company and wrestling community. Fans and media outlets, including Sportskeeda, also acknowledged Jarrett on this milestone.
Jeff Jarrett Advocates for X-Pac’s Solo Recognition in the WWE Hall of Fame
During an episode of his My World podcast, Jeff Jarrett expressed his belief that WWE veteran X-Pac deserves to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as an individual, apart from his existing honors. X-Pac, formerly a member of D-Generation X, has already been inducted twice—once as part of that faction and once for his role in the nWo.
Jarrett emphasized X-Pac’s pioneering career and personal challenges, suggesting that his solo induction would recognize the unique impact and resilience he demonstrated over time.
“When you look at his entry point into the WWF as the 1-2-3 Kid, and the huge upset he had over Razor Ramon… When you kind of think of a trailblazer, somebody who broke the mold, positioned it in a unique way, that 1-2-3 Kid upset can happen anywhere. He battled some demons, like all of us do in life, but he kept rolling. You look at when he showed up on Nitro, that piece of the puzzle in the nWo, named him Syxx… Then, him going back [to WWE], there is a lot of moments that Kid was a part of. So if you know your history, it is absolutely no disrespect to anybody that’s currently in the Hall of Fame, but, my gosh, without question,” he said.
X-Pac’s potential third induction would mark a rare achievement, highlighting the importance of recognizing individual legacies alongside group accolades in professional wrestling history.
The Continuing Influence of Jeff Jarrett and the Future of X-Pac’s Hall of Fame Status
Jeff Jarrett’s ongoing involvement in AEW and his public statements about Hall of Fame inductions underscore his lasting influence in the wrestling world. His support for X-Pac’s solo induction brings attention to how wrestling careers are honored and the complexity of legacies shaped through faction memberships versus individual accomplishments.
As the wrestling community reflects on Jarrett’s contributions and celebrates his birthday, the prospect of X-Pac becoming a three-time WWE Hall of Famer remains an intriguing storyline that could soon unfold. This potential honor would further highlight the evolving criteria and recognition standards within the WWE Hall of Fame.
