Lawler’s involvement with Raw was already dubbed as controversial due to the 70 year old Lawler being at a higher risk of getting coronavirus because of his age. WWE recently confirmed that an on-screen talent tested positive for COVID-19.
There’s currently no word on if he’ll be working next week’s show.
