    Jerry O’Neil Lawler is an American semi-retired professional wrestler and color commentator in WWE. He is currently signed to WWE where he serves the play-by-play commentator on Raw and WWE PPVs. Lawler is known throughout the Professional Wrestling world as Jerry “The King” Lawler

    Lawler is a former world champion, and has held 168 championships throughout his career. Overall, Lawler has held more championships than any other current WWE wrestler, though he has never won any WWE championships since joining the company.

    Lawler began his WWF career in December 1992 as an announcer on WWF Superstars of Wrestling.From 1993 to 1995, he feuded with Bret Hart and the rest of the Hart family. The feud began at King of the Ring when Lawler interrupted Hart’s victory ceremony and attacked Bret.Lawler claimed that he was the only true king in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), and the two were scheduled to wrestle at SummerSlam to settle the dispute. At the event, however, Lawler came to the ring on crutches and claimed that he could not wrestle because of injuries suffered in a car accident. Hart faced Lawler’s “court jester”, Doink the Clown instead, and beat him by submission. Lawler then attacked Hart, revealing that he was not injured. Hart defeated Lawler by submission but refused to release the Sharpshooter. As a result, the referee reversed the decision and awarded the title of “Undisputed King of the World Wrestling Federation” to Lawler.

    Though he has spent most of his life in Memphis, Lawler did spend a part of his childhood in Ohio after his father was transferred to a job in the state. Though this stay was brief, it would have an influence on Lawler throughout his life thereafter. He often cites Cleveland as his second-favorite city behind only Memphis and is a die-hard fan of both the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland Browns. When WWE comes to Cleveland, Lawler will usually wear a Browns jersey or an Indians jersey, and during baseball season, he will throw out the first pitch at an Indians game.

    Lawler is a collector of Coca-Cola and Superman merchandise, and owns a replica of the Batmobile from the 1960s Batman series.

    The show features Triple H facing Daniel Bryan for the right to join the threeway battle with Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, The Undertaker placing his undefeated WrestleMania streak on the line against Brock Lesnar, John Cena fighting for his legacy against Bray Wyatt, The Shield versus Kane and New Age Outlaws, a Fatal Fourway to decide the tag team championship, a 30 man, over-the-top rope battle royal in honor of Andre the Giant and AJ Lee defending her Divas championship against 13 other women.

    Ever since SummerSlam, Triple H, his wife Stephanie McMahon and his various allies in The Authority have confounded Daniel Bryan’s attempts to climb the WWE mountain because they say he is a B+ player…and decidedly not best for business. It took utilizing his fans and almost taking Raw off the air, but The Beard finally has Hunter’s attention. Though he paid for it with a brutal beating at the hands of The Game, Bryan has a shot a revenge at WrestleMania when he faces Haitch, with a chance to compete for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line.

    The man who has held the WWE title since SummerSlam (and who unified that belt with the WHC when he defeated John Cena at TLC), Randy Orton, and the 2014 Royal Rumble winner, Batista, were none too pleased with the Chief Operating Officer’s decision regarding Bryan. Having had enough of their complaining, The King of Kings decided that not only would he defeat the bearded upstart, but he’d end the whining of his former Evolution followers by entering the triple threat himself and claiming the titles.
