Ian Riccaboni has earned recognition from colleagues and executives at All Elite Wrestling. The commentator, who this year participated in several editions of AEW Dynamite and covered the double recording marathons, has renewed his contract with the company, ensuring his medium-term continuity.
As reported this afternoon by Fightful, Riccaboni was used in the programs with double recordings to give Tony Schiavone a break, who normally faces sessions of more than four hours. His work received unanimous praise, especially after the shows recorded in Philadelphia, and several internal voices described him as a "beloved" member in the locker room.
Riccaboni signed a new contract to continue in AEW. Sources within the company describe him as someone 'very beloved', and several wrestlers expressed their desire for him to become a more permanent figure in the broadcasts. AEW has shown satisfaction with its current team, and Riccaboni, by his own decision, maintains a daily job that he enjoys, in addition to making it clear that it is important for him to maintain a healthy balance with his family, something that AEW respected.
AEW wrestlers have expressed their desire for Riccaboni to become a regular in the weekly broadcasts. However, the narrator himself has made it clear that he values maintaining his non-wrestling job and a balanced schedule to spend time with his family, an aspect that Tony Khan's company has respected.
Sources consulted indicate that Riccaboni could appear more regularly during the series of shows planned in Philadelphia, thus consolidating an increasingly prominent role at the AEW commentary table.
