Jerry Lawler made his return to the Monday Night Raw commentary desk this week and, on top of fans being worried about him putting himself at risk during the coronavirus pandemic, caught some serious flack for a comment he made midway through the show. During a match between Akira Tozawa and Austin Theory, the former Cruiserweight Champion hit a cannonball off the apron and drove Theory into the ringside barricade. Lawler decided to call it the "Ramen Noodle Moonsault," which took wrestling fans aback as they found the comment to be racist.

Check out the clip below and let us know what you think down in the comments.

Here's just a sample of the reactions found on Twitter after Lawler's comment.
