Below are some top AEW news stories of the day, involving Jim Ross and Deonna Purrazzo.
• WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently revealed that he has signed a new one-year contract with AEW, where he even got a raise.
On the latest episode of his podcast, Good Ol’ JR noted that this is most likely going to be his last year as a commentator:
“I think so. It’s realistic to think that way. I’m 72 years old. I feel good.
I’m getting healthier every day, which is great, but I can think realistically this could be my last year and more than likely will.
That’s to be determined. That’s between me, my health, and Tony Khan seeing how much to utilize me.
Right now it’s a good plan because I’m essentially working, as I understand it, pay-per-views only, so that’s where you’ll find me once a month as the plan goes as we speak.
We all know that in pro wrestling, things change on a fly and things can be different, but I don’t think so on this occasion.”
