WWE Legend Has Surgery After Stroke

Last year, fans were shocked when WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler suffered a stroke in February. The situation became even more concerning due to the paralysis he experienced just before the stroke occurred. Fortunately, Lawler recovered from it.

 


 

However, he recently underwent double knee replacement surgery, and he has provided an update on his condition. Following the stroke, Lawler had to undergo several surgeries, and while he has made significant progress in his recovery, he still experiences some lingering effects.

The wrestling world came together to support him by sending well wishes and showing their support. While doing a virtual signing for East Coast Autograph Auctions, the WWE Hall of Famer provided positive update on his condition and confirmed that he is in good health.

“My health is great. I just (went) over to the doctors to get back on the road from my knee replacement and then of course, still some minor difficulties from the stroke. But all of that stuff is coming around fast.”

Following his stroke, Lawler appeared via video at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony last year as part of Andy Kaufman’s induction.  It was last August that Lawler appeared in front of the live crowd during a commercial break on an episode of Raw from Memphis. In November, he appeared on NXT programming as one of the legends who announced the Iron Survivor Qualifying matches.
