Jim Ross reacts to only calling one match at AEW Double or Nothing 2026
Jim Ross made his return to AEW commentary at the Double or Nothing PPV event. However, according to what he has said on his latest Grilling Jr podcast, he wasn’t 100% happy with only calling the one bout.
JR was on the call for Jon Moxley vs Kyle O’Reilly for the AEW Continental Championship, and Good Ol’ JR noted that if he knew he was only going to call the one match from New York, then he might’ve pushed Tony Khan harder to get that changed:
“I only call[ed] one match, [and] if I [had known] I was only going to call one match, I probably would have talked to Tony Khan about that. I’d like to have worked another match… I’m not complaining. I guess I am complaining, but I’m not hell-bent… I sure miss doing that.”
Jim Ross AEW Contract Update
The former WWE commentator would also reveal that he doesn’t not have a lot of time left on his AEW contract:
“I don’t have a lot more time left on my contract. I talked to Barry Bloom, my agent… I’m just going to let it play out. I don’t know [if] Tony Khan wants to keep me. I’ve been doing this 50 years… My deal is up. I think sometime in August, I believe that’s true. I just passed the worry-about-it stage. I’m just not going to do it. It takes the fun out of things.”
