According to several sources with PWI, Jim Ross is scheduled to be part of RAW's announcing team at this Sunday's WrestleMania 22. There had been a lot of talks about bringing in Jim Ross for WrestleMania in some capacity and the decision was finalized yesterday.

On the weekend, Jim Ross sent out a statement to the WWE's text messaging subscribers which says "Don't listen to those saying I'm coming back to Raw. I'm looking forward to the Hall of Fame, especially Bret Hart's induction. Time to put 1997 to rest."

Jim Ross was said to be hosting the Hall of Fame ceremony, but since he's being brought in for Mania, Jerry "The King" Lawler will be hosting the Hall of Fame ceremony on Saturday. (As mentioned on RAW.)
