#4 AEW Dark: Elevation's Paul Wight can appear in Jim Ross's place

While Jim Ross is the most popular commentator of all time in Wrestling, Paul Wight has also slipped comfortably in the shoes of a commentator.

To somewhat of a surprise, 'Big Show' proved his worth on the mic well enough to get a spot on AEW's commentary team. His work on AEW Dark: Elevation has been well acclaimed, as he handles the announcing duties alongside Tony Schiavone.

While Jim Ross recovers, Paul Wight could work overtime on the mic to replace him. With his success in AEW Dark: Elevation, the audience would welcome the change in the team for a while.

#3 Ricky Starks could transfer from AEW Rampage to do Jim Ross's job

Ricky Starks replaced Mark Henry as a commentator on AEW Rampage a while back. It was a surprise to see another member of Team Taz becoming a permanent commentator, but Ricky has displayed enough capability and will to justify this step.

I want more though. I really do, I really want to push myself more and really explore the depths of my talent and get out of my comfort zone a bit.” said Ricky Starks.

Given that Ricky Starks has shown skill at the commentary table, it would be feasible for him to take Jim Ross's spot temporarily. A brief stint in AEW Dynamite would work out very well for the Team Taz member.
