Ian Riccaboni has signed a new deal with All Elite Wrestling, the commentator has announced.

"Re-signed with AEW/ROH. Very grateful and excited for what is to come! Celebrated by eating some hot dogs at the IronPigs at various points since reaching an agreement which was a while ago at this point so a lot of hot dogs for me & my family," Riccaboni wrote on Bluesky.

Ian Riccaboni has been a commentator in Ring of Honor since 2014 and he gradually became the lead voice of ROH. He remained in that role after Tony Khan purchased the promotion in 2022 and Riccaboni signed with AEW in the summer of 2023. Riccaboni has done commentary on AEW TV, filling in for other announcers.

Riccaboni is a defendant along with AEW and Tony Khan in a lawsuit filed by Kevin Kelly and the Tate Twins that was recently moved to private arbitration. As part of allegations of defamation, Kevin Kelly has claimed Ian Riccaboni wrongly framed him as a member of QAnon, which Kelly claims led to his AEW firing.
