What happened to 

WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler suffered a medical emergency on Monday and is recovering in a Florida hospital after undergoing surgery.

Florida TV station Action News 5 first reported the story, stating the 73-year-old suffered a stroke in his Fort Myers, Florida, home.

Our Dave Meltzer is reporting it was not a stroke, but a blood blockage to the right side of Lawler’s brain.

Meltzer also reported that Lawler was found outside his home face down and was rushed to the hospital. 

As of now, no further update has been given regarding Lawler’s health. Meltzer said Lawler awoke from surgery and tried to talk, but couldn’t and has no feeling on the right side of his body.

Later in the afternoon, Dutch Mantell tweeted that he has regained partial use of his arm and his speech is still affected, “but he’s improving.”

Lawler’s son, Kevin, is flying to Florida and is in contact with WWE.

Lawler has had heart issues in the past and suffered a stroke in 2018. He also suffered a heart attack during an episode of WWE Raw in 2012 while on commentary that nearly killed him. He had competed in a tag team match earlier that night.
