Jim Ross has revealed plans for his AEW return.
At All In Texas, Jim Ross made his return to the AEW commentary table after undergoing surgery for colon cancer. Incredibly, Ross was back to work less than two months after going under the knife.
The WWE Hall of Famer has faced several health struggles in recent years, but he remains determined to keep working, stating he’s got no intention to retire.
Following the show, Jim Ross revealed that he’d suffered a “bad fall” just days before the show. The veteran added that he was “sore as hell,” but otherwise okay.
