Jim Ross said Jerry Lawler could make a one-off appearance in AEW
Jerry Lawler's WWE broadcasting contract wasn't renewed by the company earlier this month. This opened up the talk of him reuniting with JR on the Jacksonville-based promotion.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, the 72-year-old stated that Lawler could make a special appearance in the company, and doesn't want to be engaged in a weekly schedule.
"I think so," Ross said. "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," he said.
Fans will surely be waiting with bated breath to see when the legendary commentator will return to the company.
We at Sportskeeda would like to wish Jim Ross a speedy recovery.
