Another major name has joined All Elite Wrestling. The promotion announced that Jim Ross, the former WWE agent best known for his commentary work during the company's Attitude Era, has signed a three-year contract that AEW describes as "the most lucrative deal in pro wrestling commentary history."

　　AEW says Ross will take on the role of Senior Advisor "effectively immediately." His first in-ring appearance for the promotion will be at its first major event, Double or Nothing, which is scheduled to take place on May 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The company says Ross will also "work closely with the senior leaders at AEW on their roadmap to shift and reinvent the wrestling landscape."
