As noted earlier, Jerry Lawler was sent to the hospital by WWE officials in Baltimore today after experiencing chest pains and some vomiting. He reportedly did blood work at the hospital and was "fine" at last word.
Prowrestling.net reports that Lawler's son, Brian Christopher, became concerned and alerted WWE officials that something was wrong with his father. WWE then encouraged Lawler to visit the hospital as a precautionary measure.
At last word, Lawler was still in Baltimore but it's unknown if he will be working RAW tonight. A backstage source reported that Lawler was trying to hide it but his son notified officials anyway.

Jerry Lawler is reportedly back at the Baltimore Arena. No word on whether or not he'll be broadcasting the show, but just the fact he is out of the hospital already indicates the illness wasn't nearly as bad as originally feared.
The report we received is that Lawler was suffering from chest pains earlier today and was also vomiting when rushed to the hospital. He was checked out in the hospital and was okay.
Talent was told not to tweet or tell anyone about it, which is why the news all day was so sketchy. WWE officials did not make any statements or clarifications on any news reports regarding his condition.
