The WWE Hall of Famer received a raucous reception upon his return to WWE two months after suffering a heart attack on air. While his ailment was referred to as an ‘unexplained cardiac arrest’ The King lifted the lid on the same and pinned the blame on a co-worker.

Lawler said he was hit with 10 elbows by Ziggler during their match, which caused his heart to stop. He even appreciated Baron Corbin for picking up a win against Ziggler following an intense match on the October 17, 2022 episode of RAW.
