Legendary play-by-play commentator Jim Ross, currently part of AEW's broadcasting team, is all set to make his IMPACT Wrestling debut this week.
He will appear in the special "This is Rebellion," which will be aired on Tuesday at 9:00 PM on AXS TV. It takes a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming title-vs-title match between AEW Champion Kenny Omega and IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Rich Swann at Rebellion 2021.
Though IMPACT Wrestling didn't officially announce Ross's debut, the company shared a clip of the upcoming show on Twitter, in which the legendary broadcaster appears.
Here it is:
With such a build-up, it's safe to assume that the title-vs-title match is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, clashes in IMPACT Wrestling history.
Former NXT commentator Mauro Ranallo will provide commentary for the match. Now, with JR brought in to hype the bout, the expectations around the clash are sky-high.
