Veteran announcer Jim Ross has given AEW fans an update on when he hopes to make a return to the desk.
Ross has been absent from All Elite Wrestling since Forbidden Door back in August, which saw the Hall of Famer call the action for the final few matches, which included the chaotic cage match main event that also saw Will Ospreay written off due to injury.
Although Ross now only calls the pay-per-views, he has not been in attendance for the last 2 major shows, All Out and WrestleDream. On the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast, Ross was asked if there were any plans for him to return to commentary soon, to which the Hall of Famer responded as follows:
“Yeah, absolutely. That’s the plan. In the next few weeks. I’m excited about that opportunity,”
The full-time commentary team currently consists of Excalibur and Bryan Danielson, with Tony Schiavone and Taz also rotating as the 3rd announcer.
Jim Ross Could Be At Next AEW Pay-Per-View

- Kris Statlander (c) vs. Mercedes Mone – Singles match for the AEW Women’s Championship
