Sur son blogue, Jim Ross confirme pratiquement qu'il ne reviendra pas comme annonceur à la WWE. Il considère qu'il pourra aider la compagnie autrement. Et il a apprécié que Shawn Michaels parle de lui lors de son discours d'adieu à "RAW".

Citation :

"Broadcasting wrestling in WWE is likely history for me but there are many other areas to which I can contribute in WWE and those options, among others, will be weighed over the next month. I sincerely appreciated Shawn's shout out to me on Raw which was, symbolically, a fitting end to my own WrestleMania tenure."

Ross serait très surpris que Michaels retourne dans un ring comme lutteur un jour. Il croit qu'on pourra le revoir dans de petits rôles à la WWE de temps à autres, mais que HBK songe surtout à des projets hors de la lutte.

Citation :

"There is no doubt that Shawn will have many options to explore and I know of a few that he is looking into now. None are 'wrestling related.' That's not to say that the occasional, WWE cameo by HBK won't occur but to see him back in the ring actually wrestling would surprise me."
