An update on Jim Ross in AEW.
The legendary broadcaster has been with AEW since the company launched back in 2019. However, due to health reasons, he's taken a step back from appearing weekly and instead is brought in to call major matches at special events, specifically pay-per-views.
During a recent edition of Ross' Grillin JR podcast, he revealed that his current contract with AEW is set to expire in 2025, but is fairly confident it will once again get renewed.
"Oh, yeah, I think so. My contract expires in August [2025). But I don’t have any sense or feeling that I’m not gonna be kept. Because of the schedule I do, I could maintain that for years to come. I’m not saying that in a braggadocios fashion. This is what I do. This is what I was born to do. As long as my heart is beating and I’m healthy, and right now, I’m healthier than I’ve ever been. Once this wound heals, and it’s getting closer and closer, I’ll be 100%. I’m waiting for my hip to heal from hip surgery."
Later in the chat, Ross confirmed that AEW Worlds End will be the next time fans will see him at the commentary desk.
