After spending 22 days within the hospital, “Good Ol'” Jim Ross will probably be returning home.
Recently, AEW’s senior advisor and head commentator wrote on X [formerly known as Twitter] that he’ll be discharged from the hospital this Tuesday, and that he had a pleasant chat with an old friend of his: “Going home this Tuesday! Had an excellent phone visit with @steveaustinBSR today. Biz is picking up! [cowboy emoji]”

For a while now, Ross’ health has been on the forefront of conversation. While he’s kept his current hospital stay under wraps, PWInsider reported that he suffered a fall after Double or Nothing last month. Verification of that report was not confirmed presently. He appeared and called Jon Moxley’s Continental Championship title defense against Kyle O’Reilly. Moxley retained via submission of their no cut-off date contest.
Because the WWE Hall of Famer mentioned in his post, the business is picking up. Though his contract with AEW is up in August, Ross stays dedicated to staying within the promotion, should AEW President and CEO Tony Khan ask him to re-sign. Ross joined the black and gold promotion in 2019, calling a number of the biggest and most historic matches showcased in the corporate thus far.
