I heard that he hurt his back:
Retirement, Smack down Color Commentator 2006-present
At ECW One Night Stand 2006 JBL made an appearance and insulted the crowd. He then insulted Tazz and announced that he would take Tazz's place as the new color commentator for Smack Down. He made his debut as a heelish commentator on the June 16th edition of Smack down. With this time off, JBL is consulting with doctors to determine if his back injury will prevent him from ever wrestling again. However, it is likely that his injuries are too serious to allow him to wrestle a full time schedule. Even if doctors clear him to wrestle, it's unclear if Layfield will ever make a return to the ring since he has many outside projects that occupy his time. Among his outside endeavors, he recently got a job as an investment banker in New York City. He also has told friends that as of now he is "fat, happy, busy, and retired."
So he could go forever,yessss. He annoying in my opinion.

He's injured and recuperating. The good thing is we still see him commentating. Plus his got his business he's taking care of. Can't wait for the wrestling god to come back and see the American hero wrestle once more.

He's just retired because he has been wrestling for very long time and now it is time for him to take it easy.
