Although his time on the show was short-lived, Riccaboni’s impact was undeniable. In an interview with X, Riccaboni expressed his gratitude for the experience on Collision, describing it as “unreal.” While his presence on AEW Collision may have been temporary, wrestling enthusiasts can still catch Riccaboni every week on Ring of Honor TV.
Riccaboni’s appearance on AEW Collision was a well-executed fill-in role. The 36-year-old commentator stepped in alongside McGuinness while Kevin Kelly covered this year’s NJPW G1 Climax in Japan.

Jim Ross, a legendary voice in wrestling commentary, made his return to AEW Collision in the show’s recent episodes. His presence was felt during the main event matchups, such as CM Punk vs. Ricky Starks and CMFTR’s challenge to the House of Black for the AEW Trios Titles. Ross’s experience and expertise in the wrestling world added another layer of excitement to the show.
While Riccaboni’s time on AEW Collision may have come to an end, his contributions to the wrestling community extend beyond this temporary role. In addition to his appearance on AEW Collision, Riccaboni is a key figure in Ring of Honor TV, where he joins forces with Caprice Coleman as part of the announcement team. Their partnership has been well-received by fans, showcasing their ability to deliver engaging and insightful commentary.
As the world of professional wrestling continues to evolve, commentators like Ian Riccaboni play a crucial role in enhancing the viewers’ experience.
