Memphis Legend Jerry Lawler Expected For Surprise SmackDown Appearance
WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler is reportedly set for an appearance at this Friday's SmackDown in Memphis, Tennessee. This adds another layer of excitement to an already star-studded event featuring the much-anticipated return of The Rock.
Memphis is Lawler's hometown, and his presence would surely electrify the crowd. PWInsider suggests that Lawler's pre-existing commitment in New York City was cancelled due to a WWE request for his involvement in the SmackDown taping.



While his exact role remains unclear, it could involve an on-screen appearance or a backstage interaction similar to his cameo during Raw last August.





Lawler's return comes after a health scare. He suffered a stroke in February 2023, but has shown remarkable progress in his recovery, enabling him to resume public appearances.





The WWE Universe in Memphis will undoubtedly welcome Lawler back with open arms, further amping up the energy for a momentous SmackDown.

However, the heartwarming moment took a turn when Jarrett, an AEW wrestler and WWE Hall of Famer himself, interrupted the ceremony.## Jarrett wasn't alone. He introduced his AEW colleague Satnam Singh, who proceeded to take the award from Lawler, much to the dismay of the crowd. Jarrett then addressed the fans, declaring his intention to take over Grind City Wrestling.## This isn't the first time Lawler and Jarrett have mixed it up at a Grizzlies game. In 2018, the two even had a full-fledged match, with Jarrett emerging victorious after a guitar-assisted maneuver.## Their rivalry stretches back much further, though. Throughout the early 90s, they battled in the USWA, often vying for championship gold. Despite the animosity, they also found themselves as tag team partners, winning the USWA World Tag Team Championships together four times.
