Jerry Lawler has become a WWE Legend throughout his career behind the commentary desk. The King is also a former in-ring talent and someone who is most recognizable alongside Jim Ross behind the announce desk.

Following Ross' departure, Lawler continued to provide color commentary until he was arrested on Domestic Violence charges back in 2016 and the company had no choice but to suspend the WWE Hall of Famer.

WWE has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to domestic violence and even though in this case it was just a fight between Lawler and his much younger girlfriend, WWE had to suspend the star.

His suspension cost him his place at the commentary desk, but merely two weeks later, the company revealed that the charges had been dropped on Lawler and his girlfriend Lauryn McBride and that his suspension had been lifted.

Lawler was then placed on pre-shows before being taken off WWE TV altogether, the star returned to a full-time commentary role back in 2019 on RAW, but was replaced by Samoa Joe earlier this year.
