Jeff Jarrett Returns To The Ring Against Jerry Lawler At NBA Game

Jeff Jarrett returned to the ring over the weekend – and captured championship gold – at a Memphis Grizzlies NBA game.

Jarret, who recently completed a WWE-sponsored substance abuse rehabilitation program, battled Memphis legend Jerry “The King” Lawler to capture the Memphis Grizzlies Wrestling championship.

The match took place during half-time in a makeshift ring that was constructed in the upper deck of the FedExForum, site of Monday’s WWE RAW.

Unfortunately for Jarrett, his title reign was short-lived. After his victory of Jerry Lawler, NFL player DeAngelo Williams hit the ring (with Grizzlies mascot ‘Super Grizz’) and won the belt from Jarrett. Williams played football at University of Memphis and appeared for Impact Wrestling last year.
