AEW/WWE

A top AEW name is reportedly earning more now than he ever earned in WWE, after signing a new deal with the company.

Jim Ross recently announced that he has signed a one-year contract with AEW following the “quickest and easiest” negotiation process of his career.

Per Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Ross’ contract is for more money than he ever made in WWE.

Meltzer said:

“He’s paid really well. He makes more money in AEW as an announcer than he ever made in WWE. It’s a great, great deal.

“Some people thought maybe he wouldn’t get signed, his deal ended on February 14, but they signed him, and I presume he’ll do big shows going forward.”

Jim Ross notably appeared at AEW Revolution, where Sting wrestled his final match.

Sting teamed with Darby Allin to defeat Matthew and Nicholas Jackson to retain their AEW Tag Team Championship.

The Young Bucks have now recruited a new ally, adding Kazuchika Okada to The Elite on the March 6 edition of Dynamite.

The AEW name who pitched Okada joining the Young Bucks has been revealed, which you can read more about right here.
