Jerry Lawler, who has been away from Raw for a few weeks, said that he’s returning to commentary on Monday.
“I will be heading back down next Monday to the Performance Center and be back, once again, a part of Monday Night Raw,” Lawler said on his podcast. “I’m excited about it. I don’t like to sit home and watch Raw and not hear The King on there somewhere.”
Lawler, 70, said that he was originally asked to stay home by WWE because of fears over the coronavirus, which is more dangerous for older people. Jim Ross was also asked to stay home by AEW for the same reason. Though the pandemic is now much worse than it was a few weeks ago, Lawler looks like he’ll be back on Monday.
