Lawler drove northeast on the I-35 from Austin, Texas, the site of the July 22 edition of WWE Raw and where he stayed overnight, to Dallas, Texas for three hours. The problem was Lawler was supposed to drive to Laredo, Texas, which is about the same distance in the opposite direction, for a July 23 WWE Raw taping. Suffice it to say Lawler had to call WWE and ask them to arrange a flight for him so he could make it to the show on time.
Lawler was the butt of many jokes by Superstars and road agents backstage at the Laredo taping for not being able to make it to the right city after being in the wrestling business for 40 years. Michael Cole confirmed the story on Twitter late on July 23, "@JerryLawler drove 4 hours north to go 7 hours south but he made it to Laredo for #raw"
