Lawler got a new contract in the mail the following day, for two years instead of one, and with a raise. Lawler is happy to be locked into the WWE family for at least another two years.
Moore points out that with all the hype surrounding AEW, maybe Lawler would have received an opportunity with them in 2019 and beyond. Lawler says he’s more than happy to accept a new WWE contract and return to WWE.
Lawler says he’s not sure if he can even say this publicly or not yet, but he’s going to be calling this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble match with Michael Cole. As of right now, the plan is for JBL to return to call that match with them as well. Renee Young will reportedly call the Women’s Rumble Match.
Lawler welcomes a special guest host, Mike, to the show.
Mike informs that his favourite Lawler moment was his ongoing feud with Andy Kaufman many years ago. Lawler notes that lots of people ask him to name his favourite match, and he notes that his match with Kaufman was his favourite because that shaped his career and changed the business as a whole in some ways.
