WWE News: Jerry Lawler Explains Why WWE Removed Him From Television
The WWE recently removed Jerry “The King” Lawler and Lita from their active roles as on-air talent. Both WWE Hall of Fame stars were hosts on the WWE pre-shows for PPV events, but their final appearances were at the Survivor Series. While no one knew the exact reason for their removal, PWInsider reported that Jerry Lawler openly spoke about the move.
Jerry Lawler said that the reason the WWE removed him from television appearances was a cost-cutting measure. Lawler said that the move was decided on by WWE producer Kevin Dunn and that he has no problem with the decision. Jerry said that Dunn is a top decision maker and it made sense from a financial point-of-view.
As The Inquisitr previously reported, Lita not only left her position as the WWE pre-show host but she completely left the company. Originally, many people thought that both Lita and Jerry Lawler were removed from television but remained onboard under a Legend’s deal. It sounds like that is not the case for either wrestler right now.
Jim Ross said he had heard that Lita was under the WWE Legends deal, but she contacted him and said that was not true. Lita told Jim Ross that she was not with the WWE at all anymore. While on her latest stint with the WWE, Lita served as a trainer for NXT women before moving on to the hosting duties.
