Jim Ross recently took to his “Grilling JR” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including his future in All Elite Wrestling.
While the WWE Hall of Famer admitted that his contract with the promotion will be expiring later this year, his agent Barry Bloom is negotiating with AEW President Tony Khan regarding a new contract. He said,
“I don’t have any intentions of changing my employer at all. I like working for AEW. I like working with these talents. I really enjoy being on Collision because I think we’re trying to develop a little different feel for the TV presentation. Not better than Dynamite, but different than Dynamite. So my plan is to continue in some role, and that’s entirely up to Barry Bloom, my agent, and, of course, Tony Khan. They hold the cards; they’re doing the negotiating.”
He continued, “So, my goal is to stay in AEW and contribute and help wherever I can. I like working with we were back together with Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness, and that’s always fun. I was very impressed with Ian Riccaboni. Really good young announcer, so hopefully, everything will work out okay. We’ll know in a few weeks, that’s for sure.”
