As noted before, Jim Ross’ contract with AEW is currently set to expire this month.
A recent episode of the Grilling JR podcast featured AEW commentator and co-host Jim Ross providing an update stating that his contract with AEW expires soon.
“I think my contract is up in August. I’m not planning on going anywhere. I like my part-time schedule. It lets me keep my batteries charged. I like working for Tony Khan because he’s always been fair and civil to me — and that I appreciate.”
Ross also gave his thoughts about him making a potential return to WWE in the future and his reason why he wants to stay in AEW instead.
“I have a good relationship with those guys in that respect, but I love where I am because nobody has ever taken care of me as good as Tony Khan is and has. So that’s why I’m so content about being there. I want to stay there in AEW and I want to work more. I want to be able to contribute more, so that’s my goal is to stay healthy and contribute more to the company that pays me. And if that’s wrong, then shame on my ass.”
