Jim Ross to attend upcoming AEW event
Jim Ross will be in attendance when AEW comes to his home state of Oklahoma next month.
The Wednesday, January 7 episode of AEW Dynamite is set to be held at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast, Ross confirmed that he will be in the building for the Dynamite show. He did not reveal whether he would be doing any commentary that night.
“Yeah, I’ll be there. I’ll be in Tulsa,” Ross said. “And you can too if you buy a ticket. That’s the thing about it, get yourself a ticket and come join us. It’ll be a hell of a show. Just out of old times sake and tradition and all that good stuff. It’ll be a night you don’t want to miss. It’ll be a special night. And I’m sure that Tony Khan will put together a hell of a show, no doubt about it in my mind.”
Ross’ role in AEW is to provide commentary at pay-per-view events. He signed a new one-year contract this summer to continue in that position but has been absent at PPVs of late. Ross noted last month that he’s feeling better than he has in a long time and will make his AEW return in the next few weeks. He traveled to Winston-Salem, North Carolina last week for an appearance at the WrestleCade convention.
Oklahoma is where Ross lives full-time once again after recently selling the condo that he owned in Jacksonville. He’ll be celebrating his 74th birthday on January 3.
