Jerry Lawler wrestled a match against James Ellsworth for USA Championship Wrestling in Jackson, TN on Sunday. As you could imagine, it was an emotional day for Lawler because it was his first wrestling appearance since Brian Christopher’s funeral on Friday.
As you can see below, Lawler wore one of his son’s “Grandmaster Sexay” vests on the way to the ring.

Of course, The King won. After the match, Ellsworth took to Twitter to show his respect. He said it was the most emotional match of his career.
