Wrestling Legend Jim Ross Scheduled for Brain Surgery Amid Contract EndPreviousNext

Jim Ross, WWE Hall of Famer and AEW commentator, is scheduled for brain surgery on August 12 in Norman, Oklahoma to address fluid buildup causing balance issues. His contract with AEW expires this month, and he hopes for a planned career conclusion rather than an abrupt end. Ross has faced multiple health challenges, including recent hospital stays and falls, and aims for a clean exit from wrestling commentary while focusing on recovery.
