UPDATED x2: John Laurinaitis Has a Verbal Flub on Raw

May 22, 2012 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

UPDATE x2: WWE has released a video on WWE.com, continuing to try to explain the storyline of Big Show “agreeing to a new WWE deal with John Laurinaitis.” You can check that out here.

UPDATE: WWE posted the following note on Twitter, trying to further cover up the initial mistake..

“It’s official! @WWETheBigShow had a verbal agreement with @WWERawGM, but didn’t sign a contract until AFTER #OverTheLimit! #OtungaLaw #WWE”

ORIGINAL : John Laurinaitis announced on Raw that he had re-signed the Big Show to a contract on Saturday, making him a WWE superstar as of Sunday night. This was either an error on Laurinaitis’ part or a massive storyline logic gap, as if Big Show was officially a WWE employee he should have been fired when he got involved in the Laurinaitis/John Cena match.

The announcers covered for the gaffe, saying that Show agreed in principle to the deal but didn’t actually sign his contract until Monday morning.
