Jim Ross spoke with Tony Khan about his AEW future last week.
Jim Ross has been in the AEW announce booth since the company's inception. The WWE Hall of Famer was part of the AEW Double or Nothing 2019 commentary team, the first show in AEW history, and went on to be the voice of AEW Dynamite when that show debuted later that fall. In recent memory, JR has had a reduced role within the company, only joining the announce table for specific matches and certain shows.
"I hope to continue working for AEW for the foreseeable future. That's our goal, that's Tony [Khan]'s goal, that's my goal. Tony and I had a nice chat about my contract last week at TV, so things are moving along well in that regard," JR said."I'm sure that between Barry Bloom, my agent, and the legal department at AEW, that they're gonna get something worked out. That's my belief. I'm being positive and optimistic.
"This is the best scenario for me that I could imagine, working for a young company, where when you go to work, you feel invigorated, you feel excited. You're around a lot of great young talent that want to be stars," JR continued."This group of talents, boy, they work their a-- off. Some of the matches we've had on Collision the last few weeks have just been epic in my view. Hard-hitting, epic matches that I just can't get enough of.
