WWE superstar Jim Ross makes fresh comments on WWE signing Jacob Fatu and how the current free agent market is fluctuating. Notably, the Bloodline is indeed set to enter a new era in the next few weeks. However, Roman Reigns and The Rock are taking time away from WWE following WrestleMania 40.

Meanwhile, according to rumours, there are chances that there will be a new addition to this fold in the form of Jacob Fatu, who recently announced that he has signed with WWE just after the WrestleMania 40 weekend. Notably, Jacob Fatu has been one of the greatest performers of the past many years and has taken the game to the epitome of the level.

However, AEW announcer Jim Ross has finally opened up about Jacob Fatu signing with the WWE. Ross admitted that he was not shocked or surprised by this move after the successful WrestleMania 40 weekend. In addition to this, Ross also reveals that AEW President Tony Khan is also looking forward to making more signings in the market, and there are chances that Okada, Ospreay, and Mone are all set to join the company very soon. He also talks about people joining both WWE and AEW, depending on the time of the year.

I anticipate they'll make more signings soon: Jim Ross

"It's that time of the year. Rosters move, they change, they're amended, hence the draft, more signings, new marriages, and so on. That's not surprising to me. That's just the tradition in the pro wrestling business after WrestleMania to adjust your roster. With the WWE Draft taking place on April 26 and 29, there is every chance that the former MLW Heavyweight Champion could make a big impact on "Raw," "Smackdown," or "NXT," especially if he has the endorsement of The Bloodline," Jim Ross during an episode of the "Grilling JR" podcast.

"It's a good signing. I anticipate they'll make more signings soon. Rosters move, they change, they’re amended hence the draft, hence more signings, new marriages, and so forth," he added further.
