Jerry Lawler Pulled From Active WWE Roster Page

Jerry Lawler has been officially removed from the current superstars page on WWE.com and the 74-year-old can now be found in the WWE Hall of Fame section of the roster page. 

It emerged this week that Jerry Lawler was no longer signed with WWE under a broadcasting deal and he is only affiliated with the company through a WWE legends deal.

Lawler has since addressed his WWE status, saying: "One other thing that a lot of people wonder about, my career has probably ended with the WWE and that's it's just one of those things that goes with my getting over with all the stuff that happened with the stroke and it was my, my just sitting behind a desk and doing it commentating on a match again was the extremely difficult."

Lawler had been a part of WWE, across multiple runs, from 1992 until the end of 2023. He formed a legendary partnership with Jim Ross and they were the voices of multiple eras for WWE. 

Jim Ross commented on Lawler's WWE absence during Grilling JR and the AEW commentator admitted he doesn't think he and Lawler have announced together for the final time. 

"I felt bad about this week's news about Lawler, my partner. You know, I don't think that he and I have worked our last match together, I really don't believe that. I think somewhere down the road -- if nothing else it'll be at an appearance. I just think that JR and The King at an appearance is marketable after all these years together. So we'll see how that works out. I'm not saying that he's going to join the staff at AEW, whatsoever. I don't have any idea about that. And nor do I want to know, it's not my place to hire talent. But I certainly feel in my bones that there will be opportunities for he and I to work together, whether it be on a TV show, a one-off type thing, or certainly some appearances," JR said.
