Jim Ross has been an active figure in the world of professional wrestling for the past few decades. As a commentator, he has called some of the biggest and most iconic matches in the history of the industry. Currently, Ross is part of the AEW commentary team. However, he does not appear for every show. Instead, he shows up sporadically, mostly during big pay-per-view matches. This part-time schedule has been easy for him to follow, given his deteriorating health conditions in recent years.

Speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross stated that his contract was up in August, and he was hoping to renew his deal with the Jacksonville-based company since he likes working for Tony Khan and has been enjoying his part-time schedule.

“I think my contract’s up in August. Yeah. I’m hopeful [to renew]. I’m not planning on going anywhere. I like my part-time schedule. It lets me keep my batteries charged. I like working for Tony Khan because he’s always been fair and civil to me, and that I appreciate,” Ross said. [H/T Drainmaker on X/Twitter]
