It was revealed in the days leading up to WrestleMania, but the shock factor was no less apparent when good 'ol J.R. actually came out to commentate for the main event between The Undertaker and Roman Reigns.

The story here isn't merely Ross returning to announce for the WWE, but the fact that his wife Jan tragically died less than 2 weeks before the broadcast. It's impossible to imagine the feelings Ross was working through at the time, and the strength of will it takes to perform on national TV during a time of personal grief, but he did a fantastic job calling the match and hadn't seemed to miss a beat.

In brighter news, Ross has been signed to a two-year deal with WWE for a specific set of dates, so that's pretty great.
