Ross said on Tuesday that the procedure would involve a hole being drilled into his skull and a small tube being inserted to reach into his stomach to better manage/drain excess brain fluid.
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.
Fightful wishes Ross as he recovers from surgery.
