The Cabinet was a professional wrestling stable that was part of World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) SmackDown brand. It was created by John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) shortly after he won the WWE Championship at The Great American Bash in 2004. The return of the Cabinet was later fueled when Hall accompanied Jordan to the ring for a match taped for Velocity on December 16. Since then Hall has been fired by JBL, Jordan was released from WWE, and JBL has retired from (and subsequently returned to) professional wrestling, but has then retired fully.
