John Laurinaitis’ return to the public eye just took another turn — because the photo that got him attention is now gone.
After fans accused him of using AI in a photo from his Big Time Wrestling appearance, Laurinaitis deleted the tweet on March 18, 2026 following a ton of backlash. The original post showed Laurinaitis at the March Mayhem event, thanking fans and sharing a photo from the signing.
“Amazing signing and matches at Big Time Wrestling this past Saturday. It was great to meet so many people”
But instead of focusing on the comeback, fans quickly pointed out strange details in the image — including distorted fingers on one person and multiple background figures that didn’t look quite real. That’s when the accusations started flying. One fan questioned the image directly: “Why did you AI in the people at your table? 😂” Others piled on, wondering how much of the photo was actually authentic: “Lmao how many of them are real.”
Now, with the tweet deleted, it’s clear the backlash had an impact. Laurinaitis hasn’t publicly addressed the situation, but removing the post has only drawn more attention to it — especially since the criticism came so quickly after his return.
What started as a simple return post has now turned into something much bigger, with the AI accusations and deletion keeping the conversation alive.
Do you think John Laurinaitis deleting the tweet confirms the AI accusations, or was he just trying to avoid the negativity? Let us know your thoughts and leave your feedback.
