Having taken his trade to AEW now, JR made a huge botch tonight, referring to Kenny Omega as the WWE Champion instead of AEW Champion.


Many felt the slip up was understandable considering the years of work he put in there. There were some however, who were critical for a professional making such a noticeable blunder.

Taking to social media, Jim Ross apologized for the error. He claimed that it was in the heat of the battle and on live TV.

“Yep. Heat of battle. Live TV. My bad,” he wrote.


This isn’t a good look on the legendary commentator. He has already been criticized enough for his body of work in the promotion compared to his stint with the WWE. There is also the case of him being extremely critical of the talent he works with.

To add to all of that, he now has this to his name. The fans are unlikely to let this die down anytime soon and JR will have to simply live with it for some time now.
