Jim Ross Will Be On Commentary At AEW Dynasty

Jim Ross confirms his status for AEW Dynasty.

The Hall of Famer revealed during the latest edition of his Grillin Jr podcast that he will be at the promotion’s pay-per-view this Sunday. He adds that he is not sure what role he will have yet, but is looking forward to playing a role similar to what Mariano Rivera did for the New York Yankees.

I’m awfully excited about the big AEW pay-per-view this Sunday [in] St. Louis. I’ll be flying out there on Saturday. Excited about whatever my role will be. I’ll be happy with it. I feel like [Mariano] Rivera. I feel like I’m always in the bullpen. But I’ll come in, I’ll shut your ass down [in] the bottom of the ninth or get some outs, whatever. Nonetheless, I’m not sure what I’m gonna do. It doesn’t matter, it’s a wrestling match. So I always say that if you put the son of a bitch on the monitor, I can call it. I can describe what we’re seeing collectively. So it’s a pretty cool deal. I’m looking forward to going out there and participating with the team. It’s hard to believe I haven’t been working since Greensboro on-air, so fun deal. It’ll be good, a good show.

Ross has been dealing with a slew of health issues over the past year, but AEW has continued to use him in that time. It was confirmed that Ross signed a new contract with AEW, one that he predicts will be his final broadcasting contract in wrestling.
