WWE Rumors: Jerry Lawler To Cost Dolph Ziggler His Royal Rumble Spot

Last week’s Smackdown saw Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler returning to the WWE TV after a short break. The blue bandwagon was rolling last week from Jerry’s hometown of Memphis, Tennessee and hence, he was warmly welcomed by the WWE Universe. Quite interestingly, he brought the ‘King’s Court’ talk show, which was a part of the old school WWE programming.

Dolph Ziggler turned out to be the special guest on the show. The show-off turned heel a couple of weeks ago by attacking Kalisto and Apollo Crews on Smackdown. So, Lawler went straight to insult him on the face which led to a superkick right to Jerry’s heart. This was a disgustful act because Jerry suffered a heart attack on live television in 2012 after taking some elbow drops from the same man.

Now, apparently, it was an angle created on the show which is still not done and will continue at the Royal Rumble PPV. A report from allwrestlingnews.com suggests Jerry was brought back to get involved in a short storyline with Dolph Ziggler. He’ll be the reason why Ziggler will be eliminated from the Royal Rumble match.

The King’s court segment was just a beginning of the same. This is why Jerry was later added to the commentary team at the PPV on Sunday.

The involvement of Jerry Lawler was planned solely for the purpose of establishing Ziggler as a bonafide heel. Since, Ziggler does not have strong opponents as of now, the presence of a veteran like Lawler would help him a lot. Going to the source, if this segment is planned well then it will definitely earn some attention from the crowd. However, Jerry cannot be involved in physical capacity since he has already suffered a heart attack.
