WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler appeared to suffer a medical issue during Monday's Raw. He was on commentary during a tag team match when he could be seen wincing in pain. Michael Cole stopped calling the match and checked on Lawler briefly. The fans at ringside could be seen watching Lawler more than the match.

The Score's Arda Ocal attended Raw in person and wrote the following on his Twitter page. "Something is going on with Jerry Lawler right now at the commentary table. It looks like he collapsed. Not part of show...

"He is being carried away by personnel to the backstage area. He appeared unconscious as he was being carried... When I looked over he was hunched over convulsing in his seat and collapsed, then multiple people carried him out."

Powell's POV: Lawler worked a tag match with Randy Orton against the team of C.M. Punk and Dolph Ziggler earlier in the show. I didn't see anything that stood out during that match, and Lawler seemed fine on commentary afterwards. In fact, he seemed like his usual self on commentary until moments before he collapsed.
