AEW Star Says Contract Renewal Is Still Pending

AEW

An AEW star whose contract is set to expire soon has provided an update, noting that their renewal is ‘pending’.

Jim Ross has revealed that his AEW contract is set to expire on February 14, and has said that he is open to staying with the company.

JR provided an update on his Grilling JR podcast, where he detailed a pitch for him to be on call for Sting’s final match, which takes place after the expiration of his deal.

He said:

“It seems to be that it just makes sense that the original two guys that called the very first Sting-Flair match if they were available and could still carry their share of their water, would be a good opportunity.

“I mentioned it to Tony Khan. He loved the idea. My problem is not that. My problem is my contract is up February 14th, which I’ve mentioned ad nauseam…that event is in March. So we gotta take care of some business and I’m sure that we will. I feel good about where I’m headed with Tony and AEW. I’d love to have something to announce before the 14th, if possible.”

JR carried on, noting that he is still in the same place regarding a potential renewal.

He explained:

“We’re still at the same place right. I gotta get there contractually to be able to pull that off. I’m not using it as a leverage ploy. It just seemed like it makes sense.

“I think the best booking is booking this logically and having JR and Schiavone call the match to me seems logical. So we’ll see how it all works out. It’s going to work out the way it’s supposed to be and we’ll see how it goes from there, but I’m happy with the way things are moving along.”
