Jim Ross believes he’s scheduled to call Swerve vs. Danielson at AEW All In
It appears that Jim Ross will be providing commentary for the AEW All In main event.
While taking part in a Virtual Gimmick Table session for Highspots yesterday, Ross said he’s getting ready to head to the United Kingdom for All In. The pay-per-view is being held at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, August 25. Ross said he believes he’ll be calling the AEW World Championship match between Swerve Strickland and Bryan Danielson.
“I’m getting ready to go to London for AEW. I think I’m scheduled to call the Bryan Danielson-Swerve match,” Ross said. “And that’s gonna be a barnburner — a slobberknocker, if you will. Both of them are hungry, both of them are great.”
This could be the final match of Danielson’s career. It has a stipulation where, if Danielson does not defeat Strickland, he will retire from in-ring competition. Strickland has been AEW World Champion since April.
The 72-year-old Ross announced this March that he signed a new one-year AEW contract where his role is to contribute on commentary for PPV events. Ross told Highspots that, through all of the health issues he’s battled over the last year, he’s “without question” feeling better at the moment. He underwent surgery for a broken wrist last month after tripping over a charging cord at his condo.
