Hall Of Famer Returning To WWE TV Next Week

Welcome back. Commentary is one of the most important parts of a wrestling show. The commentary team is there to tell you what is going on but also to guide fans in the direction the company is wanting. That is easier said than done and the right team is hard to put together. Next week is going to feature someone very familiar who is not around all that often anymore.

WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler has announced via his Instagram Stories that he will be back on commentary next week on Monday Night Raw. This will be the second straight week on commentary for Lawler, who is replacing Corey Graves as he is on his honeymoon with Carmella. Lawler has done commentary for WWE on and off for about thirty years but has only made occasional appearances on Monday Night Raw in recent years.

Opinion: Lawler is kind of perfect for a spot like this as he is both familiar but also someone who is not around very often and still feels special. I’m not sure how long he is going to be around but at least we are getting to hear him a few times here and there. It might not work permanently, though for a one or two off situation, Lawler is a pretty great choice for this spot.

What do you think of Lawler? Who is your favorite commentary team? Let us know in the comments below.
