The 73-year-old Lawler suffered a massive stroke on Monday but is expected to make a full recovery. He was discovered in the driveway of his Fort Myers home and rushed to the hospital.

His longtime commentary partner, Jim Ross, posted to social media on Tuesday evening that he had spoken with Lawler and while he was "obviously weak," Ross was still able to understand him despite his limited speech.
