In a health scare that shocked fans, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler has suffered a stroke, prompting him to withdraw from a highly anticipated appearance.
The incident occurred at one of his residences in Florida last Friday, but there's a silver lining: reports indicate that Lawler is already on the mend. His daughter is taking him back to his primary home, where he plans to take some important time off to recover.
Originally scheduled to make a special appearance at HorrorHound Weekend in Cincinnati, Lawler's absence was officially announced, with organizers citing "personal matters" as the reason.
At 75, Lawler is no stranger to health challenges. This latest stroke incident marks the second major health scare in just a couple of years. Earlier in 2023, he endured a life-threatening stroke that required him to spend days in the ICU before returning home for rehabilitation.
But that’s not all—Lawler had previously suffered a stroke in 2018, and in 2012, he collapsed live on-air during WWE's "Monday Night RAW" due to a heart attack. Despite these health issues, his resilience shines through.
The beloved wrestling icon was last seen in February, beaming with joy during a taping of WWE "Smackdown" in Tennessee, giving fans a glimpse of his unwavering spirit.
While he's facing another battle, sources assure that The King is on track to recover fully, and his dedicated fans are rallying behind him for a speedy return to the ring!
