Ring of Honor lead announcer Ian Riccaboni has confirmed that he has re-signed with both ROH and All Elite Wrestling. Riccaboni, who first signed a multi-year deal in July 2023, announced the new contract on his BlueSky account.
Riccaboni has long been associated with Ring of Honor, and continued with the company after its acquisition by Tony Khan in 2022, while also performing occasional commentary duties for AEW.
“Re-signed with AEW/ROH. Very grateful and excited for what is to come!” Riccaboni wrote. “Celebrated by eating some hot dogs at the IronPigs at various points since reaching an agreement which was a while ago at this point so a lot of hot dogs for me & my family.”
He clarified that his role will remain the same, serving as the primary voice of ROH while contributing to AEW when needed.
“And to answer someone’s question: this changes nothing. ROH all the time, AEW when the moment calls,” he added. “Unless the company is looking to reboot the gameshows Studs or Street Smarts, business as usual.”
Riccaboni also shared that the new deal will allow him to continue his community work with the Salisbury Youth Association, helping to reduce or eliminate costs for kids to play sports.
