Just weeks after a successful brain surgery, Jim Ross is already discussing when he can get behind an AEW desk once again.
74-year-old Ross has been absent from AEW programming for some time, preparing for a surgery to remove fluid from his brain. Following the successful surgery in mid-August, Ross was advised following the procedure not to travel. This, of course, made an appearance at this year’s All In pay-per-view not viable for the legendary commentator.
But, Ross now hopes he can make it out to AEW’s All Out event, which is going down later this month in Chicago, Illinois, he said on the latest episode of Grillin JR.
“It’s in the cards if I can continue at the rate that I currently am, no doubt about it,” Ross said about a return to commentary at All Out. “‘Cause it’s a non-stop flight from OKC to Chicago. I’m not flying to London. I’m flying a short hop, so to speak. Two hours. And to me, that’s a pretty short hop. I’ve made it very known that I want to return to help on some of the main events as soon as I’m able to travel better. As far as just looking at the match, interpreting what I see, and articulating it, I could do that now. But they’re worried about my falling, and they want me to get a little bit more steady on my feet.”
Ross has been a commentator for AEW since the company’s start in 2019. This year marked the first time that Ross was absent from AEW’s lineage of All In PPVs.
