On the latest edition of "The Jerry Lawler Show", the WWE Hall of Famer discussed the recent segments on Monday Night RAW involving Randy Orton and Matt Hardy. Lawler hinted that he doesn't believe Hardy is going to re-sign with WWE, and cited the Superstar's recent tweet which mentioned the words "Against Every Warning".

It [the tweet] started out as ‘Against Every Warning, I showed up at RAW.’ And the first three words ‘against every warning, were all capitalized. So, if you really look, if you really looked at the tweet. The first three words started with AEW.

I doubt if he’s gonna sign back with WWE. And, you know, I think he’s trying to let everybody know that he may be going to AEW but I’m…I don’t know. I don’t know for sure.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
