WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross wrote the following on Twitter on Sunday night regarding why he was not ringside for WWE’s SummerSlam pay-per-view:
“I’m at Summer Slam on Twitter duty & not broadcasting. Booker’s working w/ Cole & King.
I am at SUMMER SLAM but backstage and not at ringside. Booker adds Smackdown representation not that Cole wouldn’t have. I’m twitter man.
I’m tweeting tonite..not broadcasting. Just happy to be here. :)
Game time decision to use Booker to rep Smackdown on tonite’s Summer Slam & to work with King & Cole. I’m happy for Booker.”
