"I feel great. I feel good, except my knees are a little bit under the weather. I had my right knee replaced about seven months ago. They said it takes about a year to get that back to normal. My left knee needs to be replaced too, but I'm going to wait a while on that one," he said.

Asked about the effects of the stroke, Lawler said, "That's something that is here, constantly, every day. I haven't gotten over it because the effects of the stroke are always there. The whole right side of my body is damaged and I can't write too good, I can't draw worth a darn, but I can still sign an autograph, thank goodness. Other than that, I feel fine."

Lawler appeared in front of the live crowd at WWE Raw in August 2023.
