15 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown (July 7)
12. Nobody Told Jerry!
If I was Vince McMahon, the first thing I would have said to the returning Jerry Lawler - who called his first show back completed his suspension after being cleared of some very naughty things by the way - wouldn't have been "hi Jerry, how are you?" It would have been "LISTEN JERRY, WE'RE CALLING THE WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP NOW 'COS WE'RE PROBZ BRINGING BACK THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE BRAND SPLIT. Comprende?"
But no, the powers that be seemingly didn't tell Jerry about the change as one of the first things he did was to call Dean Ambrose the "WWE Heavyweight Champion."
Massive, massive, face palm.
