As PWMania.com previously reported, Jerry “The King” Lawler was hospitalized in February this year following a “serious medical episode” that was later revealed to be a stroke.
Lawler made an appearance at this year’s WWE Hall of Fame ceremony but had to record a pre-recorded video message from his home.
WWE RAW took place in Lawler’s hometown of Memphis, Tennessee this week. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn introduced Lawler to the live audience during a commercial break. Lawler, who was sporting a grey beard, approached the fans and waved.
WWE’s social media accounts were updated with video of the segment.
