Jim Ross was interviewed on ESPN’s Outside the Lines today and was directly asked, “Are you going to AEW?”
He said, “I don’t know. We’re talking. I just haven’t signed anything yet. My people and their people are doing their thing. They’re working on it.”
"The only agent I grew up knowing was a State Farm agent in Oklahoma. I got a real agent now man! So, they're working on it…" @JRsBBQ explains what he hopes is next in his career. pic.twitter.com/jCbd4emTpn

Jim Ross’s WWE contract expires on March 29 and Ross previously said on his podcasts, “After talking with Vince McMahon, we have mutually agreed that I need to move on. I will not be returning to WWE after the 29th of March.”
Ross also said on his podcast, “I still want to play the game. I still want to stay busy. I’m 67, I still feel I can get the job done doing wrestling play-by-play and I want to explore that opportunity and possibility.”
