If the rumor mill is to be believed, Ross has been offered a generous contract worth millions of dollars. This rumor could actually be true, as AEW is being backed by a billionaire. Chris Jericho has stated recently that the offer AEW gave him was too good to pass up.

Given the status and popularity Jim Ross has enjoyed over the years as being one of the greatest announcers of all time, it shouldn't come as a surprise that AEW has, in fact, offered him a large sum of money.
Jim Ross wouldn't be able to earn this kind of money with WWE, as his appearances are rare, and he isn't working with them on a full-time basis. Jim Ross' decision to accept this fat contract could set him up for life, and he certainly wouldn't be treated there like he has been treated by his boss in the WWE.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
