AEW

A current AEW star has revealed that they signed a one year contract extension with the company after their contract would have expired.

Current AEW announcer Jim Ross recently revealed on his podcast that his contract with the company was set to expire on February 14 of this year.

With JR appearing at AEW Revolution, an agreement had clearly been reached between JR and the company to extend his deal.

Speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, JR confirmed that he signed a

“We wrote a new deal. We wrote a completely new deal. No extension. New contract. It was probably the quickest and easiest negotiation I have ever done in my career of 50 years. That’s all because of Tony Khan’s commitment to me as a broadcaster. He’s always been a fan of my work, which helps your cause, when your boss is a fan of your work.

“We got a new deal. I’ll be back to do more work. I assume it’s going to be centered around the pay-per-view. We’re adding more pay-per-views and big events. I’ll be involved in some degree with those. I’m here, I’m getting better. That will work for me, if I’m working just pay-per-views, I’m very happy to do that.

“I think we’re down for another year. That’s plenty. I’m happy with it. Tony Khan stepped up. Term wise, financial package wise, everything was to my liking. I was very blessed to be working with Tony on that deal. He wanted me signed. He got his man and I got my company. It all worked out real well.”
