WWE News: Jim Ross comments on possible WrestleMania 26 return, current WWE contract status

Nov 20, 2009 - 2:50:53 PM

WWE announcer Jim Ross says there is still no timetable for his return to WWE TV, but if he's ready for a return in early 2010, he would like to save his return for WrestleMania 26 in March.

Ross clarified his future as an announcer after Jerry Lawler was quoted by the U.K. Sun earlier this week on Ross possibly returning to WWE at WrestleMania.

"I mentioned that there was NO time table due to not knowing when the facial nerve on the right side of my face was going to kick start," Ross said, recalling his personal conversation with Lawler. "I mentioned that IF it was going to be close to Wrestlemania that it might be good just to wait and return at WM26. The facial nerve could ignite tomorrow...or next week...or 2-4 months from now. No one knows."

Ross also said his contract negotiations with WWE are progressing, but nothing is finalized. Ross's contract expires at the end of 2009.

"My contract negotiations with WWE are still to be finalized but, as I feel in all things regarding my life," Ross said. "I remain confident and positive that those contractual issues will work out to every one's satisfaction."
