There had been talk for a while that JBL may be leaving WWE because the demands on his time from so many other projects made it difficult for him. While there are reports all over that JBL gave notice, based on a Wrestling Observer report this week, the latest info is that a deal was actually worked out earlier this week to keep him with the company.
PWTorch has learned the primary concern with JBL was travel time getting to Smackdown every Tuesday and back to New York on Wednesdays. The concession that was being discussed this week was allowing JBL to ride in "Air McMahon" (Vince McMahon's plane) after Smackdown so he could fly right home on Tuesday night and be back at work at his other jobs early Wednesday, rather than using most of Wednesday as a travel day.
WWE had no made any plans to replace JBL, and they don't consider anyone else at his level at this point and "network-ready." As a result, they have been scrambling to make the logistics work for JBL so he could continue in his role.

Looks like we don't need to worry!
