WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler is a champion once again at the age of 70.
The Championship Wrestling of Arkansas indie promotion sent word that the WWE RAW announcer defeated Matt Riviera in a “Title vs. Career” match this past weekend at their No Surrender event to become the new CWA Arkansas Heavyweight Champion.
You can see video from the match above. The bout was the main event of last Saturday’s show at the Maumelle Event Center in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The CWA No Surrender event will be available for streaming soon on CWAWrestlingNetwork.com. Legendary Memphis Wrestling announcer Dave Brown, who recently appeared on AEW TV, helped do commentary for the event.
Lawler tweeted on the match and wrote, “My career is save for another match! New Arkansas Heavyweight Champion!”
