Jim Ross Back In Hospital Due To Low Oxygen

Jim Ross is back in the hospital, with the AEW commentator revealing the news on social media on Monday. Ross posted to his Twitter account to share a picture of himself, noting that he’s been hospitalized due to low oxygen.

JR wrote:

“Back in the hospital due to low oxygen. Weighed 198. Need a break.”

It’s been a tough year for JR on the health front, as he’s been forced to miss a number of AEW shows due to his issues. Most recently, he has been underwent another surgery to fix the shunt that was put in in mid-August. He said that the shunt had been giving him “blistering headaches.”

No word on when he may be released. On behalf of 411, our best wishes to Jim Ross for a quick and full recovery.
