Jim Ross has signed a new deal with All Elite Wrestling. It was previously reported that Ross’ contract with AEW would be expiring on February 14th.
Speaking on the latest edition of his “Grilling JR” podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer announced that he’s signed a new contract with Tony Khan’s company.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his new AEW contract: “We wrote a new deal. We wrote a completely new deal. No extension. New contract. It was probably the quickest and easiest negotiation I have ever done in my career of 50 years. That’s all because of Tony Khan’s commitment to me as a broadcaster. He’s always been a fan of my work, which helps your cause, when your boss is a fan of your work. We got a new deal. I’ll be back to do more work. I assume it’s going to be centered around the pay-per-views. We’re adding more pay-per-views and big events. I’ll be involved in some degree with those. I’m here, I’m getting better. That will work for me, if I’m working just pay-per-views, I’m very happy to do that.”
On the terms of the deal: “I think we’re down for another year. 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. It all worked out real well.”
