AEW Star Open To Commentary Role After In-Ring Retirement

AEW

AEW’s Jeff Jarrett has commented on the possibility of him becoming a commentator after his in-ring retirement.

Speaking on his My World podcast, Jeff Jarrett recalled joining the AEW commentary booth for the October 8 edition of Dynamite, and October 11 Rampage episode.

Noting that he’d now consider pursuing a commentary career after he decides to step away from the ring, Jarrett said:

“Tony Schiavone came to me in catering and he sat down and kind of did some, I don’t wanna say warm up conversation. Then he said, ‘Hey, you’re gonna do Dynamite tonight.’ I’m like, ‘Do what?’ He’s like, ‘You’re gonna be the third man.’

“I said, ‘No, no, no.’ He said, ‘Really?’ I said, ‘You ribbing? What’s going on?’ He said, ‘Nope. The man has requested you to do it and they want to know if you’re up for it.’ I’m like, ‘Well what do you think Tony?’ Tony said, ‘You’ll be fine.’

“Prior to that, I would have said no. I’ve said it on this podcast many times. I had the conversation I don’t know how many times with Mike Tenay through the years when we would be going through show notes and prep. I used to have those conversations with Lawler about how damn good he was. Schiavone, JR, it is a freaking art to do that.

“But yeah, I would. When the time (comes), if it ever, that would be a bonus to the career. Yeah, prior to Spokane and me doing that one episode of Dynamite and Rampage, I would have said zero chance. You never know, I’ll just sit back and have fun with it. I love being part of the Zero Hour panel.”

In addition to his in-ring role, Jarrett also serves as AEW’s Director of Business Development.
