#2 Jim Ross reveals WWE was trying to prevent AEW from signing Superstars

While speaking on his podcast - Grilling JR - Jim Ross talked about how WWE tried to thwart AEW when the company was trying to establish itself.

Jim Ross has worked with WWE for a number of years and was known as the voice of WWE. He is currently an announcer on AEW. Here is what Jim Ross revealed about WWE trying to sign every free agent so they couldn't join AEW:

They were hiring every piece of talent they could hire because speculation said they didn't want them to go to AEW." At the end of the day, Vince's net worth is a little over 2 billion and Mr. Khans net worth is 8.2 billion, so you don't want to see who has the biggest bank account, that would be silly."

AEW have established themselves as the second biggest wrestling promotion in short time. The company now boasts of a huge roster including former WWE Superstars such as Chris Jericho, Cody, Jon Moxley and Matt Hardy among others.
