Jerry Lawler makes WWE Raw appearance during commercial break
Posted: Aug 29th 2023 By: Bryan Rose
Jerry Lawler made an appearance during a commercial break on Monday’s Raw.
After Damian Priest had defeated Sami Zayn in a match, Zayn returned to the stage and said that while he was in a bad mood over his loss, his mood changed when he saw someone in the back. He introduced Lawler to a major reaction from the Memphis crowd.
Lawler, 73, has been battling health issues in recent months. Back in February of this year he suffered a stroke, his second after previously suffering one in 2018. He hasn’t appeared on WWE television since aside from a videotaped appearance at the WWE Hall of Fame, where he shared a brief message celebrating Andy Kaufman who was inducted that night.
Back in 2012, Lawler suffered a heart attack during a live episode of WWE Raw. He eventually recovered and continued as a color commentator on and off until 2019. Up until his stroke, he had been part of WWE pre-show panels.
