AEW Re-Signs Jim Ross

Good ol' JR won't be leaving All Elite Wrestling anytime soon.

Jim Ross revealed on the latest episode of Grilling JR that he had signed a new deal with AEW after his contract expired on February 14. The 72-year-old had been off TV due to undergoing cancer treatment and suffering a broken hip but he returned at Revolution on Sunday, March 3 to call the final two matches of the pay-per-view. 

"We wrote a new deal. We wrote a completely new deal, no extension, new contract. It was probably the quickest and easiest negotiation I've ever done in my career of 50 years. That's all because of Tony Khan's commitment to me as a broadcaster. And he's always been a fan of my work, which helps your cause, when your boss is a fan of your work. It never hurts anything, so we got a new deal. I'll be back to do more work. I assume it's going to be centred around the pay-per-views, we're adding more pay-per-views," Ross said.

"I think we're down for another year, and that's plenty. I'm happy with it. Tony Khan stepped up. Term-wise, financial package-wise, everything was to my liking. I was very blessed to be working with Tony on that deal, he wanted me signed. He got his man and I got my company, so it all worked out real well."

Jim Ross has been a part of All Elite Wrestling since the promotion's founding in 2019. The legendary announcer has been a pro wrestling broadcaster since the 1970s across the NWA, WCW, and most famously WWE.
