Jim Ross Predicts ‘Excellence’ in AEW All Out World Title Match

One big thing

AEW commentator Jim Ross expects “excellence” in the AEW World Championship match between Bryan Danielson and Jack Perry at All Out 2024.

Why it matters

This match marks Danielson’s first title defense since winning the championship at All In, and presents a significant opportunity for Perry to elevate his status in AEW.

Key points

• Ross calls Danielson “the best worker in the world” and an “amazing pro wrestling star.”
• He believes this match will allow Perry to “show what you know” against a top-tier opponent.
• This will be the first singles match between Danielson and Perry in AEW.

What they’re saying

“Being in the ring with Bryan — there’s no better opportunity to show what you know,” Ross said on his “Grilling JR” podcast.

By the numbers

• 1: Number of previous matches featuring both Danielson and Perry (2023 Anarchy in the Arena at Double or Nothing)
• 2: Weeks since AEW’s previous pay-per-view, All In

Between the lines

Ross addressed Perry’s controversial incident with CM Punk at All In 2023:

• He described it as Perry getting “caught up in a bunch of bulls**t and sludge.”
• Ross admires Perry for working his way out of the situation.

The bottom line

While most expect Danielson to retain, Ross noted that it’s impossible to predict Tony Khan’s booking decisions.
