Legendary commentator Jim Ross confirmed his involvement with AEW in Texas on Saturday, July 12th. This event, set to be AEW’s largest in the United States, will take place at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, just over a week away.
There had been uncertainty surrounding Jim Ross’ participation, as he has previously expressed a desire to return to the commentary team while the match card nears its finalization. Recently, the WWE Hall of Fame revealed Ross has been battling cancer, specifically colon cancer, but he confirmed his return to AEW for the Texas event.
During a recent episode of Grill JR, while discussing his canceled appearance at Knoxville’s Fanboy Expo, Ross was asked by co-host Conrad Thompson if he would be in Texas. Ross responded, “Oh, absolutely, I got the date, you know, you’re extreme up, that’s my fault… But still, I want to go there. I want to come, and I want to fly on Thursday and do our business on Friday, and I’ll be pay-per-view on Saturday.”
Moreover, Ross also confirmed he will be appearing at the Star Casting Ring Convention in Arlington on Friday, July 11th. Fans can expect more updates about Jim Ross’ return to AEW as the event approaches.
