WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler Suffers Another Stroke, Begins Recovery in Florida

WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler suffered a minor stroke on September 5 at his Florida home, which has led him to withdraw from several scheduled appearances. Despite the stroke affecting his right side and slightly impacting his vision and speech, Lawler is able to walk and talk, and is currently resting at his primary residence to focus on recovery. Lawler's daughter confirmed he will take several weeks off to recuperate, with rehabilitation expected to help him regain full speech capabilities. This is not Lawler’s first stroke; he previously experienced one in 2018 and a major stroke in 2023, which had significant effects on his ability to speak and write. Lawler has also faced other health challenges including a heart attack in 2012 and knee replacement surgery last year, but was recently seen at Vince McMahon’s 80th birthday party prior to this latest stroke. Fans and the wrestling community continue to send their support as Lawler works toward a full recovery.
