All Elite Wrestling has added another commentator to their roster. Just 3 days after Tony Shiavone was reported to have signed with the promotion, AEW has signed Alex “Goldenboy” Mendez.

Mendez took to Twitter to announce a contract signing. AEW’s Alex Marvez then welcomed him to the promotion, confirming the contract Mendez signed is for AEW.

Jim Ross and AEW
Good o’l JR signed a 3-year deal with AEW earlier this year. His role isn’t limited to just broadcasting duties, however. Ross is also a Senior Advisor to the promotion.
“I’m going to do all I can to help this young group,” JR told ESPN recently. “Share what I got, what knowledge I have, what expertise I have, whether it be in the infrastructure of the talent relations department or other areas. As a senior adviser, I can advise anyone in the company, especially the president. So I may be as much as Tony Khan’s consigliere as any other job.”
