Jim Ross responds to D-Von Dudley’s racism allegations

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Last year, WWE veteran D-Von Dudley dropped the bomb when he charged current AEW commentator and WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross with racism allegations. While, Ross later responded and denied them, Dudley recently followed up on the allegations and shared more details about the incident. Now, just a few days later, Ross decided to not stay silent and responded to Dudley’s comments.

Speaking on the latest edition of the Grilling JR podcast, Ross responded and claimed that he’s not a racist and never has been one.

“How many times do I gotta address it to satisfy everybody? I am not a racist. I have never been a racist. Ask some of the African-American athletes that I’ve been around and worked with in my 50-year career. They’ll say the same thing, and like I said before, when you and I first talked about this, I don’t remember the first cross word I had with D-Von (Dudley),” Ross continued.

“The boisterous one was Bubba (Ray Dudley). But not in a bad way. He just had no problem expressing himself and Bubba had a lot of ideas. He was a throwback. A main event guy that wanted to be involved into booking his angle, and I loved that. If more guys would do that and today, they just wait for someone to tell ‘em what they’re gonna do tonight, and that’s the wrong approach in my opinion. But, I’d have no problem reconnecting with D-Von. I’ve never gotten mad at him. I was bewildered about how this could happen. Because like I said, I don’t remember any negative exchanges with him.“

Former WWE wrestler Maven had also reached out to Conrad Thompson and suggested the idea of Ross and Dudley meeting to discuss and settle out their differences. However, Ross claimed that while he is open to the idea of meeting D-Von because he ‘likes’ him, he is not interested in making a “TV show out of it” as well as monetize it.

Suffering from several recent health scares, Ross made his AEW return on their latest January 7th, 2026 edition of Dynamite.

Jim Ross on AEW return: ‘It was a feel-good moment’

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Jim Ross had a great time in his return to the AEW announce desk last night.

After some time away amid health issues, Ross made his AEW return on Wednesday night in his home state of Oklahoma. He reflected on the Dynamite episode on his Grilling JR podcast, saying it was a feel-good moment for him with his family in the building.

“Oh, it was great. I had a great time. My kids were there, a couple of my grandkids were there. So it was good, man. I had a great time,” Ross said. “The AEW team welcomed me back. They were glad to see me — almost as glad as I was to see them. So it was good, man. It was good. Working in Tulsa brings back a lot of memories. That’s where I got my start, in Tulsa, working for ‘Cowboy’ Bill Watts and Leroy McGuirk. It was a feel-good moment, quite frankly.”

Ross said his grandchildren are only “moderate” wrestling fans but came to the show to see their grandfather. It was one of the first wrestling events they’ve been to.

Commentary comes natural to Ross at this point, but the 74 year old said it did take him a minute to get used to being back.

“I think it took a minute to get settled in,” Ross said. “It was good. I didn’t know what to expect, to be honest with you. My natural instincts took over. I had a lot of fun. That was the key thing. That’s the key thing about doing commentary. If you don’t have fun doing it, it’s not going to work for you. So it’s all good, man.”

Ross has been with AEW since 2019 and is currently under a deal where his role is to provide commentary at pay-per-view events. Dynamite last night was a rare TV appearance for him.

Earlier in the day yesterday, D-Von Dudley posted a video elaborating on the racism allegation he’s made against Ross, which stems from two incidents Dudley says occurred during the Attitude Era. Ross has denied that this occurred.

AEW Dynamite notes: New set & entrance, Jim Ross returns

AEW’s first Dynamite of 2026 featured a brand new set/entranceway and the end of their signature entrance tunnels.

The new look features a giant curved videoboard at the top followed by supporting videoboards underneath. However, there is now a single entrance meaning the separate heel/babyface circular entrance tunnels are no longer.

The injured AR Fox first revealed the new look on X Wednesday afternoon (seen below).

**********

WWE Hall of Fame announcer and AEW original Jim Ross made his return to the broadcast booth for the show from Tulsa, Oklahoma — the state where he currently lives.

Ross was introduced at the onset of the show and got his full entrance, remaining on commentary for the entire broadcast, his first since this past July’s AEW All In: Texas.

Battling health issues, which included successful colon cancer surgery, Ross said recently that he has been feeling better than he has in a long time, something he reiterated on the broadcast. The freshly turned 74-year-old signed a one-year deal this past summer to provide commentary on PPVs.

It’s unclear if he will return for March’s Revolution pay-per-view from Los Angeles or when his next appearance could be.

D-Von Dudley gives further details on racism allegations involving Jim Ross

Posted on by Ian Carey

D-Von Dudley has responded to Jim Ross denying allegations that Ross made racist comments toward him during their time together in WWE.

In a video posted to his YouTube channel in late October, D-Von said that a WWE higher-up told him he did not like him because of the color of his skin, implying Ross was the person involved. Bully Ray backed up D-Von’s account. D-Von also described a second incident involving Ross that took place in the presence of Paul Heyman, Spike Dudley, and Tommy Dreamer.

Ross addressed the claim last month, saying he “never uttered those words” and that he does not recall ever having any conflict with D-Von.

On Wednesday, D-Von uploaded another video to his YouTube channel and provided additional details about the two incidents.

D-Von said of an interaction with Ross at WWF New York in 1999:

“It was at the WWE restaurant, the grand opening of it. We were mingling with some of the guests that were there. A lot of them were artists, musical artists, things like that. There were some actors and actresses that were there. WWE really rolled out the red carpet for this event.”

D-Von said he went down to a private room at the restaurant, where Ross later approached him and Bubba. According to D-Von, Ross told them they were doing really well in WWE, but said he was unsure about D-Von.

“He said, ‘You boys are doing really good, and this and that. I like you boys, I like you boys a lot. D-Von, I’m not too sure. The verdict’s still out on him. I’m not too sure how I particularly feel about this.’“

D-Von said Bully Ray interjected at this point.

“And Bubba knew what he was getting at. So Bubba butts in and goes, ‘You know something, JR, regardless of what, D-Von’s a hard worker. He never gives this company any problems.”

“And JR continued, ‘Well, you know, I get that. That’s all good, but there’s just something about him. I’m not sure.'”

“And finally, that’s when it comes out. ‘He’s Black. I just don’t know. That’s my hiccup.'”

D-Von said that Bubba again attempted to interject, telling JR that D-Von is a “good human being.”

D-Von says Ross continued, “‘I’m not saying that he’s not, but I just don’t know. You know, because he’s Black and I just don’t know about that.’”

D-Von continued:

“I had to think about it. If I hit him, we’re going to lose our jobs. If I say something, I can lose my job. Because at that time, I didn’t think that I would be able to fight that. Again, I’m a little fish in a big pond.“

D-Von added that Ross was heavily intoxicated during the incident.

“Remind you though, when he said it he was extremely drunk. He was extremely drunk, slurring his words. But they say when you’re drunk, the truth comes out.”

D-Von then described another incident that took place in Indianapolis.

“And then the other incident was in Indianapolis, where myself, Dreamer, Bubba, Heyman, and Spike were sitting at the table.”

“And I think JR had just come in catering. He had just gotten out of a meeting, and he comes over. He says hello to everybody but me.”

D-Von says that Heyman called Ross out for saying hello to everyone but D-Von.

“Paul pretty much called him out, says, ‘What? You don’t want to say nothing because what? Why don’t you want to say hello to D-Von? What’s wrong with D-Von? What, ’cause he’s Black?’”

“And JR went, ‘You’re damn right cause he’s Black, you’re damn right.”

“I don’t know if he got mad at that and that’s why he said what he said, because his ego got in the way or what have you. But that’s what was said.”

D-Von also said he never had any issues with other WWE executives regarding race, specifically mentioning Vince McMahon and Michael Hayes. He also said he holds no hard feelings for Ross.

D-Von’s full video is available below:

Lights Out match, Jim Ross return set for next AEW Dynamite

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Legendary wrestling announcer and WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is set to be back for his AEW commentary duties on next week’s AEW Dynamite in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Over the past few years, Ross has battled a variety of different health issues. He has also not been on AEW commentary since AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door in August, but is now set to be back next week.

Previously, Ross became a specialized announcer for the Jacksonville-based promotion for the main-event matches. Ross, 73, recently sold his condo in Jacksonville and moved to Oklahoma, to his long-time home. Signed a new one-year contract, he had previously expressed his desire to continue his commentary duties.

AEW’s first 2026 Dynamite episode will also host two other star-studded matches which includes a Lights Out between The Opps (Hook & Powerhouse Hobbs) against Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page. The challenge was issued by Strickland following Wednesday’s opening segment that featured new AEW World Champion MJF. He, Joe, Page and Strickland were all in the World title match last Saturday at Worlds End.

The show will also feature Jon Moxley taking on Shelton Benjamin in an AEW Continental Championship eliminator match.

Matt Hardy: Vince McMahon had ‘real weird’ rivalry with Jim Ross

Posted on by Joseph Currier

On a new episode of his podcast, Matt Hardy addressed the “real weird” rivalry that once existed between Vince McMahon and Jim Ross in WWE.

Ross recently opened up the dynamic between himself and McMahon, saying he felt like McMahon’s animosity came from a place of jealousy because McMahon was never as good of a play-by-play announcer as he was. Ross felt like McMahon never wanted to give him credit for his part in shaping the Attitude Era despite Ross building WWE’s roster at the time.

The Hardy Boyz were two of the stars that Ross signed during that time period. Reacting to Ross’ comments about McMahon, Matt Hardy said he thinks McMahon got off on putting people in uncomfortable positions. While that might help some people grow, Hardy thinks McMahon’s approach was abusive at times. And McMahon especially seemed to enjoy making Ross uncomfortable.

“I felt like Vince had a thing — Vince had a thing for, like, putting people in positions which made them feel uncomfortable. And he kind of got off on that, in all honesty,” Hardy said on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy. “That was, like, one of his things. I felt like he did that with JR quite a bit. You know, that became a regular, common thing.

“There were certain people. I felt like if you ever showed signs of weakness, or like, ‘No, I don’t want to do that.’ Or like being uncomfortable, like if you were outright uncomfortable with it, then he would push it even harder. Because I know there’s some people that did get that. You know, I felt like anytime he put us in positions where, and I feel like sometimes he said like, ‘If you don’t go into areas or positions where you feel uncomfortable, you will never grow.’ And in some ways that is true, but in some ways too, I think he was abusive with it as well. And JR probably was one of the guys he was more abusive with in many ways. There was, like, this real weird rivalry between them in some ways.”

McMahon’s humiliation of Ross often spilled over to WWE programming, including the infamous “Kiss My Ass Club” segment that took place in 2001.

Along with being an announcer for WWE, Ross was a key behind-the-scenes player as the head of talent relations. Hardy credited Ross for being ahead of the curve on signing athletic talent. Without Ross signing both teams, The Hardyz vs. Edge & Christian rivalry never would have happened.

McMahon resigned from WWE in January 2024 following the lawsuit filed against him by former company employee Janel Grant. The still-ongoing suit accuses McMahon of physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking. WWE as a company is also named as a defendant.

The 73-year-old Ross is currently signed to AEW and contributes on commentary for pay-per-view events.

Jim Ross denies D-Von Dudley racism allegation: ‘I never uttered those words’

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Legendary wrestling announcer Jim Ross has issued a response after being accused of racism by D-Von Dudley.

Back in October, Dudley alleged that — when they were both with WWE around 1999-2000 — Ross told him that he did not like him because of the color of his skin. Bubba Ray Dudley backed up his tag team partner’s account, and D-Von said Paul Heyman, Spike Dudley, and Tommy Dreamer were also there for the incident.

Ross addressed the allegation during a Q&A on the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast, noting that it only took him this long to respond because he was going through health issues in October. Ross said he was puzzled by Dudley’s comments and denied that the alleged incident ever happened.

“Recently I heard that D-Von Dudley thought I was a racist,” Ross said before a clip of Dudley’s comments was played.

“That’s so absurd. It’s not even — it doesn’t merit a response. I like D-Von. I like him today. I hired he and Bubba. I thought we did a good job of booking them. They made money. They were put in situations where they could do the things they do best. You know, those TLC matches were pieces of art. They’ll last forever. The Dudleys were a major part of that. I know Bubba for sure because I’ve heard it was involved in the booking of that stuff.

“And I don’t know. I was shocked to hear that, because I don’t recall ever having a cross word with D-Von Dudley. I always respected him and his work. I loved the Dudley tag team. So I was — it took me totally off guard. I never said that to D-Von Dudley. And why he would conjure up that, I guess to get attention. I thought, well, maybe he’s not as happy with his post-wrestling life as Bubba is, because Bubba’s made a tremendous success of himself as a broadcaster — and still works. So, I never said that. Some people I’m sure are going to still believe it, and that’s their prerogative, but I’m not angry at D-Von. I just am curious and don’t understand why he went there. Just don’t get it.”

Ross named Shelton Benjamin, Junkyard Dog, and Ernie Ladd among the Black wrestlers he either signed to contracts or loved working with over the years. Despite this allegation, Ross added that he still respects Dudley as well.

“I still have great respect for D-Von and I’m glad that we got to work together,” Ross said. “But I never uttered those words.”

Ross, 73, will be in attendance when AEW comes to his home state of Oklahoma on January 7. He’s under contract with AEW for a role that sees him provide commentary at pay-per-view events.

Jim Ross on Vince McMahon’s animosity towards him: ‘I think he was jealous’

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Jim Ross has a theory on why he always seemed to be the target of Vince McMahon.

While Ross was WWE’s lead announcer for years, he was also subject to many storylines and angles that seemed to be designed to embarrass him. On his podcast, Ross shared a theory as to why McMahon always had it out for him.

“I have never understood Vince’s intense animosity, I think he was jealous,” Ross explained. “He was never the play-by-play guy that I was, but he didn’t want to give me any credit for helping build the Attitude Era into what it was. I’m not the only person responsible for that, for God’s sakes, I’m not trying to say that. All I’m trying to say is I signed all those guys that made him millions of dollars and facilitated the company going public. Those are my guys, that was my roster.”

Despite the years of grief, Ross said he never had any ill will towards McMahon and has chosen to move on.

“I always put my faith in my work. I thought I could call a good match if the match was there…as much grief as he gave me, I could always look at my bank account and get happy,” he said. “So I never had the animosity toward Vince that he had toward me and I never got it. I didn’t screw him around, I never no-showed, I didn’t phone anything in, I was doing two or three jobs…I never understood it. I worked my a** off, but sometimes that’s just the way that it is. And I had a choice to carry that animosity and that angst with me or cut it loose and move on. The latter is what I’ve done and I will continue to do.”

Ross chose not to renew his WWE contract in 2019 and joined AEW as an announcer soon after. Despite struggling with health issues, he has continued to make appearances for the company including at this year’s All In event.

Jim Ross to attend upcoming AEW event

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Jim Ross will be in attendance when AEW comes to his home state of Oklahoma next month.

The Wednesday, January 7 episode of AEW Dynamite is set to be held at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast, Ross confirmed that he will be in the building for the Dynamite show. He did not reveal whether he would be doing any commentary that night.

“Yeah, I’ll be there. I’ll be in Tulsa,” Ross said. “And you can too if you buy a ticket. That’s the thing about it, get yourself a ticket and come join us. It’ll be a hell of a show. Just out of old times sake and tradition and all that good stuff. It’ll be a night you don’t want to miss. It’ll be a special night. And I’m sure that Tony Khan will put together a hell of a show, no doubt about it in my mind.”

Ross’ role in AEW is to provide commentary at pay-per-view events. He signed a new one-year contract this summer to continue in that position but has been absent at PPVs of late. Ross noted last month that he’s feeling better than he has in a long time and will make his AEW return in the next few weeks. He traveled to Winston-Salem, North Carolina last week for an appearance at the WrestleCade convention.

Oklahoma is where Ross lives full-time once again after recently selling the condo that he owned in Jacksonville. He’ll be celebrating his 74th birthday on January 3.

Jim Ross will be back on AEW commentary ‘in the next few weeks’

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Fans will be able to hear Jim Ross back on AEW commentary at some point in the next few weeks.

The 73-year-old announcing legend returned to his Grilling JR podcast on Wednesday after a couple of weeks away. Ross noted that he’s finished selling his condo in Jacksonville and is now back in Oklahoma at his long-time home. Ross said he’s happy to be home and is feeling better health-wise than he has in a long time. In Oklahoma, his daughters are close by and able to help him out.

“I feel good about being home. Feel healthier than I felt in a long time. I’ve got plenty of energy, and I’m thankful to be back on the air,” Ross said.

Ross added that he will be returning to AEW commentary soon. He signed a new one-year AEW contract this summer to continue in his role helping out on commentary at pay-per-view events.

“Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. That’s the plan. In the next few weeks,” Ross said about his AEW return. “So, yeah, I’m excited about that opportunity.”

The next AEW PPV is Full Gear on November 22. Ross’ podcast co-host Conrad Thompson said that show might be too soon for JR to return, but he’ll still be back sooner rather than later. Worlds End on December 27 is the next AEW PPV after that.

Earlier this year, Ross was declared cancer-free after undergoing surgery. He didn’t know what the outcome would be during that battle with colon cancer, but he’s now looking forward to the future.

“A few months ago at this time, I wasn’t so sure about the outcome,” Ross said. “But here I am, and here we are. And we’re going to have a great, great year of podcasting. I can promise you.”

Ross’ name was recently in the news when D-Von Dudley accused him of racism in an incident that happened during the WWE Attitude Era.

Jim Ross addresses Bryan Danielson’s addition to AEW commentary

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Jim Ross is confident that Bryan Danielson will thrive in his new full-time role with AEW.

After earning praise for his commentary at Forbidden Door, Danielson joined the AEW Dynamite announce team on a full-time basis last week. He’s now calling the show with Excalibur and Taz.

Ross — perhaps the greatest announcer in wrestling history — addressed the news on the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast, saying he believes Danielson’s intelligence and wrestling knowledge will help him succeed at commentary.

“He’s studious, a student of the game, has a lot of knowledge that he’s more than happy to share, which I think is great. I like the addition of him,” Ross said. “It gets some knowledge out of a talent that has been kind of sequestered into — I don’t want to say oblivion, but Bryan’s a really smart guy and I’ve heard some of his work. I think he does a good job.”

Ross noted that, when doing commentary, you need to reprogram yourself to speak in soundbites. You also need to prepare thoroughly, which has never been an issue for Danielson.

“I have utmost confidence in Bryan Danielson that he’s going to do a tremendous job,” Ross said. “He’s smart, he’s studious, he works as hard at getting ready for a broadcast as he did getting ready for matches. And he’s well known for that. So I think it’s good. I think it’s good for our show and brand. Exposing Bryan Danielson is a smart thing, it’s good product placement if you will. Tony Khan’s got a great vision for things like that, so I’m excited to see where it all heads.”

Danielson wrapped up his full-time in-ring career in October 2024. It remains to be seen when or if he’ll ever compete again.

The 73-year-old Ross signed a new AEW contract last month to continue in his role providing commentary at pay-per-view events. His next assignment is at Forbidden Door in Toronto this Saturday.

Jim Ross confirms new AEW contract: ‘I’m happy where I am’

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Jim Ross has officially inked a new contract with All Elite Wrestling.

“I signed a new contract for a year,” the 73-year-old announcing legend announced on his Grilling JR podcast. “Next summer, next August, I think it is [that the deal runs until].”

Ross said he has fewer dates in this contract, which he likes. He expects to continue providing commentary at all AEW pay-per-views, along with potentially making some assorted TV appearances.

“I’m happy with my deal. I’m happy to go back to working with Tony [Khan],” Ross said. “Tony and I spent a lot of time together in London [during Forbidden Door] and talking about my deal and what his plans were for me. I’m still figured in very strongly. And to go do the pay-per-views is quite the opportunity. And the fact that I’m able to recharge my batteries and not just drive myself to a nub — it’s all good stuff, man.”

Ross noted earlier this month that his previous AEW deal was set to expire soon, but he said he hoped to renew and did not plan on going anywhere.

On Grilling JR, Ross confirmed that he did not have any talks with WWE about a potential return.

“I haven’t talked to them. No plans to go back,” Ross said. “Not that I’m saying that out of animosity or anger, but it’s just — it’s not the right time for me to get more involved in business. But they could come to me with an idea that we haven’t discussed and I might reconsider. But I like being where I am, I like the schedule I have, the freedoms that I have. I enjoy working with these young talents. I developed a good relationship with all those kids at AEW. And I’m happy where I am. I really am.”

Ross joined AEW during the promotion’s inaugural year of 2019. He’s overcome some health issues over the past few years, including recently battling colon cancer.

Jim Ross says AEW contract expires soon, hopes to renew

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Jim Ross’ AEW contract is coming up soon, but it doesn’t seem like the announcing legend has any plans of testing free agency.

On his Grilling JR podcast, the 73-year-old Ross said he believes his contract with AEW is slated to expire this month. But Ross said he isn’t worried about the situation and is hopeful that he’ll be staying with AEW, noting that his agent Barry Bloom is handling things.

“I think my contract is up in August,” he said. “I’m not planning on going anywhere. I like my part-time schedule. It lets me keep my batteries charged. I like working for Tony Khan because he’s always been fair and civil to me — and that I appreciate.”

Ross has been with AEW since 2019, and his role at the moment is to contribute on commentary at pay-per-view events. He’ll be in London for Forbidden Door on August 24 and would like to call a match at the former ECW Arena when AEW has its upcoming residency in Philadelphia. That residency begins at the end of August and continues into September.

While he has a good relationship with people in WWE and will text his friend Paul “Triple H” Levesque if he sees something really good on WWE TV, Ross said he loves working for AEW and would like to contribute to the company more.

“I have a good relationship with those guys in that respect, but I love where I am because nobody has ever taken care of me as good as Tony Khan is and has,” Ross said. “So that’s why I’m so content about being there. I want to stay there in AEW and I want to work more. I want to be able to contribute more, so that’s my goal is to stay healthy and contribute more to the company that pays me. And if that’s wrong, then shame on my ass.”

Ross has battled a myriad of health issues in recent years. He was diagnosed with colon cancer this May but is now cancer-free after undergoing successful surgery.

Last month, Tony Khan praised Ross in an interview with TMZ Sports, calling him an indispensable part of AEW.

The full episode of this week’s Grilling JR can be watched below:

Jim Ross sets date for return to AEW broadcast booth

Posted on by Josh Nason

Jim Ross will be returning to the AEW broadcast booth in just a few weeks time.

The WWE Hall of Famer revealed on his Grilling JR podcast Thursday that through his communication with AEW head Tony Khan, he will be heading to London, England, for this month’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view from the O2 Arena to “call a couple matches.”

Ross loves the venue (“It’s a hell of a building”) and is excited to be heading there, comparing it to London’s version of Madison Square Garden.

The 73-year-old made his return to the booth for July’s All In Texas — his first show after he underwent successful surgery to remove colon cancer. He revealed afterward that he experienced “a bad fall” in his hotel room just days before the event, but was still able to make his scheduled appearances Friday and then Saturday.
