Earlier this week, PWInsider reported that WWE had not renewed Jerry Lawler’s broadcast contract. However, the WWE Hall of Famer still remains under a Legends contract with the company.
In an interview with PWInsider, Jerry Lawler stated that it’s difficult to do the broadcast role due to health issues.
“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.”
Last year, Jerry Lawler was hospitalized after suffering a stroke. Two months ago, Lawler successfully underwent knee replacement surgery.
