WWE Hall Off Famer Jerry Lawler appeared on Cerrito Live this past weekend and revealed that WrestleMania 32 might feature two separate [English] announce teams.
According to Lawler, there has been a strong push to have Mauro Ranallo featured on the show. While it’s not yet a done deal, he has heard “scuttlebutt” behind the scenes of it happening. He noted that fans have been requesting that he and Ranallo get a chance to call a few matches at WWE’s biggest show of the year.
The King also spoke about his heel turn on commentary, noting that it was actually his idea. Lawler knew Ranallo wouldn’t want to say anything bad about anyone since he’s the new guy, and that Byron Saxton was too nice of a guy, so he suggested to Vince McMahon that he return to his old heel announcer character.
He pointed out that he has only scratched the surface of his heel turn thus far, as he is still “easing into it.” He mentioned that McMahon loved the idea of him turning heel and even told him that he misses the days of “The King” playing the heel on commentary.
