Sad to see how some are looking for "dirt" as to why I will no longer be with WWE. WWE and I are parting ways with no animosity. As I said on my podcast on Westwood One, I can't thank Vince McMahon enough for how he looked over Jan and me for the last 25+ years. I will be forever grateful. I look forward to the next chapter of my life. Working on our next book with Paul O'Brien. (You can still order SLOBBERKNOCKER on Amazon now). And join me at Gotham Comedy Club in NYC April 6th.

With All Elite Wrestling continuing to build their roster, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Jim Ross, who has been linked to the promotion in the past, show up at “Double or Nothing.” Interestingly enough, he had Brandi Rhodes on the latest edition of his podcast “The Jim Ross Report.”
