He originally underwent brain surgery in August.

Ross has battled health issues throughout the year, which has limited his broadcast time with AEW. He last appeared at AEW Double or Nothing, calling the Jon Moxley vs. Kyle O’Reilly bout.
He was hoping to work AEW All In or AEW All Out, but was unable to appear at either event.
Fightful wishes Jim Ross the best as he continues to recover.
