In an interview with PWInsider, Jerry Lawler addressed a question about his career with WWE, following a recent report that his full-time broadcast contract with the company had expired.
Noting the difficulty of the role given his health, the WWE Hall of Famer stated:
One other thing that a lot of people wonder about, my career has probably ended with the WWE and that’s it’s just one of those things that goes with my getting over with all the stuff that happened with the stroke and it was my, my just sitting behind a desk and doing it commentating on a match again was the extremely difficult.
Lawler suffered a stroke in February 2023, but had made great progress and said his “health is great” on the road to recovery.
Lawler’s most recent appearance for the company was last November when he helped announce qualifying matches for the NXT Iron Survivor Match.
The full interview sees Lawler talk about his run with Jim Ross in WWE, his feud with Bret Hart, and the importance of Memphis wrestling, among many other topics.
