Jim Ross Says AEW Contract Expires Next Month, Hopes To Renew It

Jim Ross says that his AEW contract expires next month, though he’s hoping to renew the deal. On the latest episode of Grilling JR, Ross and his co-host Conrad Thompson had a converrsation where JR confirmed that his deal was up on February 14th.

When Thompson told JR that it would be a “a pretty sweet renewal for Mr. Tony Khan,” Ross replied (per Fightful):

“I hope so. I would like to finish up in AEW. I have to be realistic about things. These birthdays, I’m the same age as (Nick) Saban and (Bill) Belichick. I just love working with [AEW].”

JR was at this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite and called the Sting & Darby Allin vs. Powerhouse Hobbs & Konosuke Takeshita main event.
