A familiar voice is sticking around in AEW — and he’s got the hot dogs to prove it.

AEW commentator Ian Riccaboni took to his BlueSky account on Tuesday night to officially confirm that he’s re-signed with All Elite Wrestling, keeping him at the broadcast table for the foreseeable future. Riccaboni also called it a package deal with Ring of Honor, where he’s long been a staple on commentary.

“Re-signed with AEW/ROH,” Riccaboni wrote. “Very grateful and excited for what is to come!”

Riccaboni, who recently became part of the new weekly AEW Dynamite commentary team alongside Excalibur and Taz, shared that he celebrated his career milestone in a way only he could.

“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 [and] my family,” he joked.

The timing of Riccaboni’s announcement couldn’t be better, as AEW is gearing up for the milestone 300th episode of Dynamite this Wednesday. Riccaboni made sure to hype it up in his post.

“AEW Dynamite 300 is TOMORROW! See you in California!”

AEW Dynamite 300 takes place from the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California, and airs live at 8/7c on TBS and MAX. Fans can expect Riccaboni’s voice to be front and center as part of the historic broadcast.
