    A WWE legend has just teased his in-ring return for a match. He hasn’t wrestled for more than three years.

    The aforementioned star is Jerry “The King” Lawler. The 76-year-old’s last in-ring appearance was at AML Acts Of War Games 2 in January 2023, in which he defeated The Beer City Bruiser. His last match for WWE dates further back to the September 10, 2012, edition of Monday Night RAW, where he joined forces with Randy Orton for a tag team match in a winning effort against CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler.

    Earlier today, Memphis Wrestling’s official Instagram handle posted a video of Jerry Lawler teasing his return to the squared circle. While looking directly into the camera, the veteran questioned longtime rival “Superstar” Bill Dundee if he had one more match left in him.

    “Hey, I got one question.” Lawler added, “Superstar, do you have one more match left in you?”

    You can check out the video below:

    Bill Dundee himself hasn’t wrestled a match since December 2019, and by the time of writing of this article, there was no response to Lawler’s from his side. Only time will tell whether the two veterans square off or it turns out to be just banter from the WWE Hall of Famer.

    Former WWE manager shared his reaction to Jerry Lawler’s potential in-ring return

    Despite suffering a third stroke in September 2025, Jerry Lawler had previously suggested that he would love to get back in the squared circle for one more match.

    On an earlier edition of his Storytime with Duth Mantell podcast, former WWE manager Dutch Mantell stated that he would be interested in watching Lawler in action. However, he made it clear that given Lawler’s recent health scares, there was a possibility of the latter passing away during the match.

    “I don’t think he’s in any kind of shape to have a singles match, but I would be very interested in seeing it. But then you have an issue that has to be looked at. What if he dies in the ring? Which is possible […] I think that would be a very appropriate place for him to go. Which is really sad, but then it’s not sad if you think about it. He would enter another form of the stratosphere called history. I mean, he would always be remembered as dying in the ring,” Mantell said.

    Only time will tell if and when Jerry “The King” Lawler steps foot in the ring for a wrestling match.
