Jim Ross revealed on his Grilling JR podcast that his AEW contract is set to expire sometime in August and that he is not worried about whether it gets renewed.
“I don’t have a lot more time left on my contract. I talked to Barry Bloom, my agent, he was in New York, and we chatted about my status, and I’m just gonna let it play out,” Ross said. “If Tony Khan wants to keep me, he will. If he doesn’t, then he won’t. I just passed the worrying about it stage.”
Ross, 74, had been in New York for Double or Nothing. He also revealed he suffered a fall at home the morning he was set to travel, putting his back out, and spent much of the weekend in significant pain before recovering.
He spoke positively about AEW and said he believes the current support staff is the strongest the company has assembled. “I hope I stay with them. I enjoy the hell out of Tony Khan.”
