Jerry Lawler To Undergo Procedure Amid Stroke Recovery

WWE

AEW commentator Jim Ross has provided fans with an update on Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler, who is recovering from a stroke.

Lawler suffered a stroke while at his condo in Florida on February 6.

The Hall of Famer was able to travel back to his home in Memphis, Tennessee in March.

A public appearance at this week’s Chiller Theater convention in New Jersey has been cancelled, prompting concern from fans.

Jim Ross has now taken to Twitter to share a positive update, noting that Lawler’s voice got stronger the longer he spoke with him on Monday (April 24).

Noting that Lawler has another procedure coming up, Ross said:

Had a great one hour convo today with ⁦ @JerryLawler who’s recovering from the affects of a stroke.

Jerry’s voice seem to get stronger the longer we spoke.

The King will undergo a procedure next week to help his situation. 🤠

The 73-year old’s last public appearance prior to his hospitalization was over the February 4-5 weekend at a signing in Florida.

Lawler recently took to social media to show appreciation for his caregivers, which you can read more about right here.
