After many months of staying away from public eye due to a stroke he suffered on February 7th, wrestling legend Jerry Lawler made a triumphant return to RAW in his hometown of Memphis. 

During an ad break at Monday’s WWE RAW event, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn took the mic to address the audience. Initially, they expressed their frustration over the ongoing troubles caused by The Judgment Day.

However, Zayn’s demeanor changed as he hinted at seeing “a certain someone” backstage that lifted his spirits. Owens then revealed it was Jerry Lawler, prompting the audience to respond with a standing ovation and a prolonged chant of “Jerry.”

The 73-year old Hall of Famer, now sporting a white beard, was overcome with emotion from the ovation.
