Next Monday night, WWE presents a star-studded Raw Reunion special live from Tampa, FL. Some of the biggest names in pro wrestling history will be on hand for the show.

Top names advertised for RAW Reunion include “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and many more. One legend who won’t be at Raw Reunion is AEW executive Jim Ross.

Although the idea of JR appearing on WWE TV seems far fetched at this point, JR says he was actually invited to attend.

Jim Ross Declines RAW Reunion Invite

JR was in Jacksonville, FL over the weekend for Saturday night’s AEW Fight for the Fallen pay-per-view.

The night before the event, Jim Ross and his podcast co-host, Conrad Thompson, held a live ‘Grilling With JR’ stage show. According to on-site correspondent Dominic DeAngelo of WrestleZone, Ross told the audience that Vince McMahon recently reached out to him and extended an invitation to Raw Reunion. JR spoke to AEW President Tony Khan about the invitation. Khan was fine with JR appearing at RAW Reunion, but he ultimately decided against it.

Even though Jim Ross won’t be appearing at Raw Reunion, it’s nice to see there are no hard feelings between JR and the WWE Chairman.
