• WWE Removes Jerry Lawler’s Controversial Comment From This Week’s RAW (Video)

WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler returned to commentary on this week’s live episode of RAW.

During the Austin Theory vs. Akira Tozawa match on RAW, Tozawa hit a Senton on Theory from the apron and Lawler called it “Ramen Noodle Moonsault”.

Fans noted on Twitter that they didn’t like this comment and considered it offensive and racist. Some fans even went on to say WWE should take Lawler off commentary (similar to how Jim Cornette was taken off commentary on NWA Powerrr for a similar comment).
