Jerry Lawler Returning To WWE RAW Commentary Next Week

Jerry Lawler Returning To WWE RAW Commentary Next Week

WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler will be returning to the announce desk for WWE RAW starting next week.

Lawler is set to fill in for Corey Graves while Graves is on his honeymoon with Carmella which is expected to be around a couple of weeks.

Lawler believes he was removed from the RAW broadcast team in 2020 because of a remark he made about Akira Tozawa. Appearing at K & S WrestleFest last year, Lawler had the following to say regarding the remark:

“And so the next thing, he goes to the top of the rope and he flies off and I looked at Byron and I said ‘oh look, there’s a ramen noodle moonsault.’ What is racist about that? I thought it was funny. That’s a ridiculous name, right? And all of a sudden, the internet blows up. ‘Oh, King’s a racist.’ Even Tozawa, the next week comes back and says ‘it’s nothing racist. I eat ramen noodles every week.’ But the next week I wasn’t on RAW anymore. So I don’t know if that’s what happened but anyway, you got to be very careful,”
