It had been previously reported that AEW has signed Jim Ross to a new deal, in which he will serve as a commentator for the upcoming new promotion.

However, over the weekend, JR appeared on WFAN Radio in New York City and revealed that the company will have a weekly two-hour live television show, which will premiere in October.

On a recent edition on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer elaborated more on this report. He said that the deal had not been formally signed as of this weekend, but AEW had been negotiating with two major cable networks. In addition, both networks were interested in signing with AEW to stream their major events, such as Double Or Nothing.

We will continue to monitor the story and provide any updates as they become available to us.

Editor’s Opinion:

If this is true, other wrestling promotions, including WWE, need to be worried. With all of the momentum and outstanding talent that AEW has signed, they could become a serious competitor for the major television market in the United States and beyond.
