Jim Ross recently returned to the WWE at Wrestlemania 33 to call the match between Roman Reigns and the Undertaker. He has been appearing sporadically for the company, including calling the recent WWE United Kingdom Championship match at NXT Takeover: Chicago.

So why isn’t JR on our television sets weekly? Why hasn’t he joined either RAW or Smackdown Live full-time?
He explained why he isn’t returning full-time to WWE on a recent post on his blog: JRSBARBQ.com:
“At this stage of my career, I am much more interested in the quality of my work rather than the frequency of travel of it which translates to; I am not interested in going back on the road every week as I did for so many years. Working on events such as the U.K. special, the occasional NXT booking, etc are right down my alley and are projects that I get to work with new partners and new talents which is always fun”
He continued:
“As I mentioned on a recent Ross Report, I love ‘coming out of the bullpen’ and trying to throw a few strikes whenever WWE deems I’m needed”
JR will likely only be utilized for the big shows in WWE.
