Jim Ross appeared at Wrestlemania 33 to call the main event between Roman Reigns and the Undertaker. It was great to see Jim Ross back with the WWE, especially after the week that he had. For those unaware, his wife Jan passed away before Wrestlemania weekend.

In a new interview with Fox Sports, JR reveals that he has signed a new deal with the WWE for 2 years. Here is what he said in the interview about his new contract:
“It has a specific number of dates that I’m obligated to work, which I think is good for me. So look at it this way: I got my jersey back. I got brought back to my home team, and my opportunities back in WWE, I’m sure, will be multi-fold”
His exact role isn’t clear right now but it appears as if he will be performing multiple roles for the company:
“They’ve got a lot of things that I can contribute (to), and I’ve been so blessed in the business that I’ve done so many different things. I’ve been an administrator and a syndicator, a marketing rep, a VP of broadcasting, a head of talent relations. But the fun part is what I did tonight. I hope to have more ‘fun part’ assignments in the future, but I’ve got my jersey back. So if the team needs me to play, to work more than they anticipated because they need it, I’m in.”
