John Laurinaitis is set to make another public appearance, with a new booking announced for later this week.
World Class Professional Big Time Wrestling confirmed that the former WWE executive will attend its Fan Appreciation Night fundraiser on April 10, 2026, in Chillicothe, Ohio. John Laurinaitis is advertised to appear for autographs and photo opportunities, and the promotion has also teased a “groundbreaking announcement” during the event.
The show will take place at Huntington High School, with proceeds benefiting the school’s athletic boosters.
The appearance comes roughly a month after Laurinaitis made a rare public outing at a meet-and-greet in March, which drew attention online. He later faced criticism after sharing an AI-generated image that appeared to exaggerate attendance at the event.
John Laurinaitis Was Fired By WWE Following Janel Grant Lawsuit Allegations
John Laurinaitis was previously terminated by WWE following allegations outlined in a lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against WWE, Laurinaitis, and Vince McMahon.
His legal team has since responded to recent filings, stating that Laurinaitis was the only party exonerated by an independent investigation commissioned by WWE’s Board of Directors and the only individual dismissed with prejudice from the case.
