For years Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler were the prominent announce team on WWE programming, but it’s been some time since fans have seen them together at the commentary table. Recently it was reported that WWE decided not to renew Jerry Lawler’s contract which means he is currently a free agent.
During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Jim Ross was asked about potentially reuniting with Jerry Lawler for one night in AEW, and he indicated that he’s open to the idea.
“I think so. A one-off. I don’t think he wants to re-invest in a weekly schedule. I certainly don’t. I’m only doing pay-per-views now for Tony Khan and I’m very comfortable and happy with that. People say, ‘Well, you should, you’re only working one day a month.’ What about those other 50 years I put in? I’ve paid my dues and I’m happy with my schedule. I’m happy that Tony Khan is respectful enough to manage my schedule so I can live a little longer. I still get excited about it.”
There’s currently no word on whether or not AEW has any plans to reunite Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross, but clear JR is on board if the opportunity presents itself.
