As Jim Ross might say “Don’t worry about the mule, just load the wagon” as the AEW announcer is heading to work after a recent hospital visit.

On May 23rd, Jim Ross announced on social media that he had been taken to the emergency room after struggling with shortness of breath. As a result of the issue, Ross missed AEW Double or Nothing, sitting out the show as he began his recovery.

Ross later gave a positive update on his recovery noting that he hoped to be back in the hot seat for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on June 30th but suffered another setback. Jim Ross took to social media on June 25th to reveal he’d been forced into another trip to the ER as he continued having difficulty with his breathing.
