AEW commentator Jim Ross provided a worrying medical update on Saturday, June 20.

The legendary announcer took to social media to reveal that he has been hospitalized for the past 22 days in Norman, Oklahoma. Ross shared that despite the setback, he remains in good spirits as he fights to recover.

He wrote:

“Day 22 in the hospital in Norman. Watching @CWSOmaha with my @soonerbaseball. Thanks for everyone’s kind thoughts and prayers. Don’t count me out just yet. I’m still fighting! 🙏🤠”

Following Ross’ social media update, Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that the WWE Hall of Famer suffered another fall after returning home from AEW Double or Nothing 2026 last month. As noted previously, last month, JR revealed on his podcast that he suffered a fall before his trip to Queens, New York, for the pay-per-view.

Despite that, Ross appeared at the pay-per-view to join the commentary team for the AEW Continental Championship match between Jon Moxley and Kyle O’Reilly.

411Mania wishes Jim Ross a speedy recovery.
