• WWE Hall Of Famer Reveals He’s Now Color Blind
WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler has revealed that his recent health struggles have left him color blind, a life-altering effect of the stroke he suffered earlier this year that has taken away his ability to see color and put a pause on one of his lifelong passions.
During his interview with Action News 5, Lawler opened up about the ongoing effects of his stroke while walking through his home and discussing his extensive art collection. As he looked at artwork during the sit-down, Lawler explained the change to his vision, saying, “I’m color blind and I can’t see the colors.”
The moment quickly turned emotional as Lawler tried to interpret what he was seeing in front of him. While examining an image, he questioned whether it was in black and white, reacting in real time to the disconnect between what his eyes now perceive and reality. “Yeah. Oh my god. Isn’t this… this is black and white?” Lawler asked during the interview.
Long before his wrestling career took off, Lawler was an accomplished artist who earned a full art scholarship and later became a collector, even owning original works by Norman Rockwell. The loss of color perception has prevented him from returning to painting and drawing since his stroke.
During an interview with Valerie Calhoun of FOX13 a few months back, Lawler revealed that he had skipped his medication in the days before suffering the stroke, which is the most likely cause.
• Braun Strowman Unhappy With Modern WWE Stars’ Disrespect Towards Main Eventers
Braun Strowman signed with WWE in 2013 and first rose to prominence when he debuted as part of The Wyatt Family in 2015. After being released in 2021, returning a year later, and then being let go again earlier this year, Strowman has firmly established himself as a veteran of the wrestling business.
Appearing on Something’s Burning with Bert Kreischer, The Monster Among Men spoke openly about how locker room culture has changed over the years, particularly when it comes to respect for main event performers.
“So it went from that of the respect of watching the guys that were on the marquee drawing the main event and the main reason why 90% of the people were in the building was to watch that main event.
It was paying your respect to go, ‘Hey thanks for the house’ to seeing that and then going out there and then like Roman Reigns and I going out there 45 minutes doing a street fight and coming back and there’s nobody in the f**king gorilla and they’re already in their hotels in the next town.”
He continued, clearly frustrated by the lack of support shown by other wrestlers backstage.
“It’s like, wait a second. Like they paid to f**king see us. You couldn’t even stay around to watch our sh*t?”
• Former World Champion Is In Legal Dispute With WWE
Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal (Raj Dhesi) is engaged in a legal dispute with WWE over the rights to his longtime nickname, “The Maharaja.”
Public United States Patent And Trade Mark Office records show that Dhesi first attempted to trademark “The Maharaja” nickname back in April 2024. The request was rejected because the office believed it could be confused with WWE’s trademark for “The Maharajah,” which the company has owned since 2017.
Dhesi tried again, only to be denied a second time on June 4, 2025. Now, instead of continuing to file new applications, he’s going after WWE’s trademark directly.
Earlier this month, Dhesi submitted an official petition asking the USPTO to cancel WWE’s ownership of “The Maharajah” altogether. In the filing, he argues that he had already been using the moniker long before WWE staked its legal claim, dating his usage back to 2015.
The USPTO has given WWE until February 3, 2026, to respond to Dhesi’s challenge.
