Ross made his most recent appearance on RAW 2 weeks ago, when he sat down with Chavo Guerrero, Jr. to discuss his decision to retire from wrestling, believing he was letting down the Guerrero family name. However, in a story broken this afternoon by the Wrestling Observer, Jim Ross will be the lead announcer calling the WWE Backlash PPV tonight and is expected to return to his old job as the lead announcer for Raw, replacing Joey Styles. As noted earlier this week in the PWInsider.com Elite section, the move back to Ross had been expected to happen by the time the ECW PPV took place this June.
