Fans have seen many familiar faces on AEW programming since the company first launched in 2019, and many familiar voices have also called the action on TV. Jim Ross is considered by many to be one of the greatest commentators of all time, but recently Rose has been sidelined due to some health issues.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Jim Ross hopes to be back for All In at Wembley Stadium, but that’s not guaranteed. It was also noted that JR’s current contract with All Elite Wrestling is set to expire in two months.
“Jim Ross is hoping to be back for Wembley Stadium but that’s just a goal. He has a radiation burn that he has to make sure doesn’t get infected and has been dealing with crippling sciatica, that a few weeks ago left him bedridden. He’s doing better thanks to chiropractic treatments in Norman, OK, from Dr. Ron Tripp, who is a former Olympic judoka who is the only man ever to beat Rickson Gracie in a competition match, throwing him in 48 seconds in the U.S. sambo national championships in 1983. Ross’ current AEW contract expires in two months. There is no date for his return but it would likely be on Collision.”
