Report: Jerry Lawler No Longer With WWE

“According to a report from PWInsider.com, Jerry “The King” Lawler is no longer under contract with WWE. It was noted that multiple sources confirmed Lawler’s status, and said that WWE “quietly declined” to renew his broadcast contract.”

UPDATE, PWI has added this: "Since publication, a WWE source has reached out to state Lawler would still be under a WWE Legends deal."













TIL That the stunt of Jerry Lawler slapping Andy Kaufman on David Letterman was not revealed as a hoax until years later.

WON: Raw and Smackdown to have new sets with pyro also returning; Jerry Lawler’s presence on commentary “only temporary”

Newest Observer confirms what was mentioned here a week ago by WrestleVotes, that Raw and SD are getting new sets. Dave also brings up later that they are bringing back pyro.

The idea is to give a facelift to a somewhat stale product, with new sets for Raw and Smackdown, new announcing teams and in a few weeks, new separate rosters.

WWE is also going to bring back pyro to television. I mean, they’re getting so much money there’s no reason not to, because it’s again a little thing that fans like that AEW was expected to have, since they did with PPVs. WWE dropped it feeling it was an unnecessary cost and made no real difference when it came to ratings, but economics aren’t nearly as tight as they were when that decision was made

Also worth noting that he says the Raw commentary team was chosen by Heyman, and that Lawler’s role is only temporary

Maddin had just been added to 205 Live to work with Joseph the last few weeks. Maddin was an out of the box pick by Paul Heyman. Joseph, who has done a good job with 205 Live, was also a Heyman pick to give the show a new look, but it was less out of the box. With Maddin, he had no experience at this but Heyman saw him and thought he could be successful as a new voice in this position.

The return of Lawler is a surprise. Vince McMahon has always had age issues, and even though Lawler’s last comeback was strong, and it was obvious he was better in the role than anyone else, it was short-lived because of age. Lawler turns 70 in late November. He does have decades of experience at this but his return after being put out to pasture is usually not a move Vince makes. We’re also told this move is only temporary.
