Will Jim Ross Return to the WWE?
Rumors are heating up around Jim Ross and a possible WWE return as the legendary commentator nears the end of his AEW contract. JR, who has been part of AEW since its launch in 2019, has faced a reduced role in recent years after battling health issues, including a recent cancer diagnosis. Now in remission and back behind the announce desk, Ross has reportedly been the subject of backstage conversations about whether he could finish his storied career where it all began, in WWE.
According to multiple reports, including commentary from WrestleVotes and Sportskeeda’s Dr. Chris Featherstone, there’s growing chatter that the WWE Hall of Famer might be open to one final run with the company. Ross’ AEW deal is set to expire at the end of August, and while he’s stated on his Grilling JR podcast that he wants to remain with AEW, the timing of these rumors has raised eyebrows among wrestling fans, wondering if WWE might be in his future.
For now, Ross is staying focused on his work with AEW and was on commentary for AEW Forbidden Door this past weekend. Whether this ends up being one of his final shows for the company or just another chapter in his legendary career remains to be seen. But with Jim Ross’ history as the voice of some of WWE’s most iconic moments, talk of a potential return will likely continue until his next move becomes official.
