A recent episode of the Grilling JR podcast featured co-host Jim Ross confirming that he will be making a return appearance to AEW’s commentary team at the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025 event on August 24th at The O2 in London, England. Ross also stated that he will be calling a “couple matches” at the show.
“Found out this week that, via my communication with Tony Khan, that he wants me to be in London at The O2 to call a couple matches. I’m going to London and that’s a hell of a building.”
This will be Ross’ first appearance on AEW commentary since this past July’s All In Texas event. This will also be Ross’ second appearance at an AEW show since this past May following his successful battle with colon cancer.
