JBL on the Something to Wrestle podcast said he agreed with WWE fining Tama Tonga for posting a video of rehearsals and would have supported firing him over it.
​
"I completely agree with WWE for the fine, for whatever the amount was, and if they'd have fired him, I'd have agreed with it."
​
"This was always a fireable offense. You release something like that, you release secrets of your company."
​
JBL said the company has the right to air behind-the-scenes content on their own terms through WWE Unreal, but talent cannot make that decision independently: "You can't have talent just putting out stuff like, 'Here's a rehearsal, here's what's going on backstage.'"
​
However, he acknowledged younger talent may not have known: "A fireable offense in my generation, yeah. I don't know that the talent today knows better. And that's a matter of education, not intelligence."
​
JBL said the fine should be the end of it: "That's one thing Vince was very good about. When Vince would fine somebody, that was it, and it was over."
