Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler to reunite for WWE Raw 25th anniversary
Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler will be reuniting to call part of Raw’s 25th anniversary episode.
In a video that WWE posted this afternoon, Mike Rome confirmed that Ross and Lawler will be doing commentary from the Manhattan Center next Monday for that portion of the show.
