Lawler reprise his role as a commentator for the business as last month’s 30th anniversary of Monday Night Raw in Philadelphia.

The 73-year-old has had his fair share of health issues, suffering a stroke in 2018 and having a heart attack on live television back in 2012.

Lawler has been involved with professional wrestling since 1970, and has continued to make periodic appearances in recent years.

Despite his involvement in several companies as a wrestler, including the WWE, he is perhaps best known for his broadcast work alongside Jim Ross.
