Jim Ross is apparently considering a return to WWE, reports Dr. Chris Featherstone (h/t WrestlingInc). Ross has been with AEW for the last several years, though recent health issues including a cancer diagnosis have limited his involvement recently.

According to the reports, there has been talk backstage in AEW that Ross wants to finish his career in WWE, and that his current AEW deal expires at the end of this month.

Ross will be part of the broadcast team for this Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, and the show may end up being his final one with AEW.

Ross is, of course, perhaps WWE’s most iconic announcer, having called most of the most legendary WWE matches from its Attitude Era.

Considering he came out and said he's negotiating an extension with AEW, I think this report is bullshit

If JR does come back to WWE have him as a replacement for Jesse on the SNME events. You can sign him to a legends deal and maybe let him call one match at mania

It would be nice for him to get a final bow in WWE while there's still time.
Would been perfect few years back for Austin/Owens match if he could of called it perfect way for JR to go out.
