WWE Hall of Famer addresses potential move to commentary in AEW

AEW has a stacked wrestling roster, but the company also boasts a top-tier commentary team. The action is usually called by a combination of Tony Schiavone, Excalibur, Taz, and Nigel McGuinness across Dynamite and Collision, with the occasional appearance from Jim Ross. However, WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett recently appeared at the booth as well.

Jarrett filled in during the October 8 edition of Dynamite, and many fans seemed to enjoy his presence. Double J has also established himself as a host and analyst on AEW's Zero Hour pay-per-view pre-shows.

On the latest episode of his My World podcast, a fan asked the 57-year-old if he was interested in transitioning to commentary once he's retired. Jarrett claimed that he would have said no before, but after his experience on the October 8 Dynamite, he might be open to a commentary role in the future:

"Prior to that, I would have said no. I’ve said it on this podcast many times. I had the conversation I don’t know how many times with Mike Tenay through the years when we would be going through show notes and prep. I used to have those conversations with Lawler about how damn good he was. Schiavone, JR, it is a freaking art to do that. But yeah, I would. When the time [comes], if it ever, that would be a bonus to the career. Yeah, prior to Spokane and me doing that one episode of Dynamite and Rampage, I would have said zero chance. You never know, I’ll just sit back and have fun with it. I love being part of the Zero Hour panel." [H/T Fightful]

Jeff Jarrett recalls watching the first episode of AEW Dynamite at WWE's old headquarters

When AEW was founded, Jeff Jarrett was still working for WWE. The 57-year-old didn't join Tony Khan's promotion until 2022.

Jarrett has brought plenty of experience with him to AEW, having worked around the wrestling industry—including stints in WWE, WCW, and TNA—since 1986. On a recent episode of My World, he recalled watching AEW Dynamite's premiere in Titan Towers.

Jarrett claimed that it gave him a nostalgic feeling and likened it to TNA IMPACT's move to Spike TV in 2005:

"On the second floor of the ol’ Titan Towers, we got to gather around the TV and watch it. The freshness, obviously for me, it brought back so many memories since a non-WWE program had been on cable television in prime time. It took me back to whatever that may be, 2006, 2007 when we came on the air in the Spike days."

Jeff Jarrett is not currently involved in any major storylines on AEW television, but he's proven that he still has plenty of gas in the tank. When and where the WWE Hall of Famer chooses to retire remains to be seen.
