Former WWE tag team reunite at independent wrestling event

The APA have reunited.

Ron Simmons and JBL made an appearance at the Wildkat Sports Revolution Rumble event on Saturday, confronting a tag team in the ring. JBL grabbed a steel chair from one of the wrestlers and handed it to Simmons as JBL gave the other wrestler the clothesline from hell. JBL then cut a brief promo before the duo made their exit.

Together, the two are known for their run as the Acolyte Protection Agency in WWE during the late 90s and early 2000s, winning tag team titles on multiple occasions. The tag team ended in 2004 when Simmons was released. JBL branched out as a full-time singles wrestler, going on to become WWE Champion. The APA have been seen together sporadically in the years since the end of their team,  most recently at the 2024 WWE Draft.

JBL was induced into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020. It was recently announced that Ron Simmons would be inducted into the Georgia High School Football Hall of Fame as part of the 1976 Warner Robins Screamin’ Demons team.
