WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler will have his first WWE TV appearance after a life-threatening stroke situation. He is an absolute legend when it comes to wrestling and commentary. He made a rare appearance on the August 28, 2023 edition of Raw in Memphis, when Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn gave a surprise to the fans.

Jerry Lawler has entertained the audience for a long time with his commentary partner, Jim Ross. The WWE legend has had a problem with heart attacks in the past too. On the September 10, 2012, episode of Monday Night Raw, he was in a tag team match with Randy Orton. After defeating CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler, he legitimately collapsed at the announcer’s table during the next match.

Mick Foley, Lita, JBL, and Jerry Lawler will book the show in the upcoming editions of NXT. Lawler will appear later this month.
