Ross welcomes Jerry “The King” Lawler to the show.
Lawler informs that he’s feeling good after his recent stroke, which was quite a scary ordeal. He notes that much like his cardiac arrest, there was no pain or warning and it’s almost as if it didn’t even happen. He credits his girlfriend for acting quickly and driving him to the hospital at the first sign he was having a stroke, and he thinks that saved his life.
Ross says that he doesn’t think he’s ever been on a trip as challenging as their recent trip to Saudi Arabia. Ross spent 36 hours on a plane in total, much of it with Lawler, and Lawler notes that the first class travel made it bearable.
Ross notes that the security at the venue in Saudi Arabia was quite intense. Lawer adds that he was actually concerned about wearing his “King” outfit over there in case the Royal Family would be offended by it. The Royal Family actually requested that Ross and Lawler make the trip, demanding that the “guy with the crown and the guy with the cowboy hat” be there. If they knew him for wearing a crown, Lawler assumed it’d be okay for him to wear his outfit there, and he didn’t have any issues.
Lawler and Ross both laugh as they discuss Titus O’Neil’s trip as he was making his Greatest Royal Rumble entrance. Lawler mentions that he texted O’Neil right after the show, telling him that this might be the best thing that ever happened to him. O’Neil has a great ability to laugh at himself, and he handled this situation perfectly in Lawler’s opinion.
