#4 Why Jerry 'The King' Lawler will not be on commentary for WrestleMania

One big name who will be missing WrestleMania is Jerry 'The King' Lawler. Lawler wasn't on RAW last night after WWE asked him to stay home instead of coming to tapings. With Mania also being taped this week, it's unlikely that Lawler will be doing commentary for the show.

Dave Meltzer explained the reason behind Lawler missing RAW and tapings this week on Wrestling Observer Radio:
Lawler not being on the show tonight, I’m sure everybody; if they watched the show; noticed that. The minute he wasn’t there I presumed something and in fact, it is the case that it’s better to be safe than sorry. You don’t really need Lawler, you don’t really need Lawler this week.
Meltzer added that he knew Jerry 'The King' Lawler wanted to go and do his part on commentary, but the way things are with the world right now, WWE chose to be safe and asked him to stay at home, which was definitely the right decision.
