One of the most decorated champions in wrestling will be at this Friday’s SmackDown when the blue brand comes to Memphis, TN.
Memphis’ own Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler is set to appear on this Friday’s edition of WWE SmackDown, PW Insider reports. Lawler recently pulled out of an appearance in new York City originally set for Saturday, March 16.
Lawler, a WWE Hall of Famer, last appeared for WWE during the August 28, 2023, episode of WWE Monday Night RAW. Lawler did not appear on screen though, as his segment saw him brought out by Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens during a commercial break. It is unclear if Lawler’s appearance at SmackDown will be broadcast or solely for his fellow Memphis residents to see.
WWE SmackDown – March 15
This week’s SmackDown will see more than just an appearance by Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler. The show will also see The Rock make an appearance as part of his recent heel run. It is believed that the Great One will host a ‘Rock Concert’ during the episode.
This Friday’s SmackDown will also see Bayley seek to gain a measure of revenge on Dakota Kai. The Kiwi Superstar turned on Bayley last week, reaffirming her role as part of Damage CTRL. Tis week’s show will also see the first of a series of qualifying tag-team matches. The winners will be part of the six-pack Undisputed Tag Title Ladder Match at WrestleMania 40.
