Jim Ross Reveals His Status for AEW All In: London

AEW veteran Jim Ross is set to miss this year’s All In pay-per-view. The Tony Khan-led company will present the 2026 edition of its showpiece event, All In, from Wembley Stadium in London, UK, this Sunday.

Ross, who recently underwent brain surgery, had previously expressed his desire to travel to London for All In 2026 despite his recent medical issues.

However, that will not be happening, as the veteran commentator revealed on the Grilling JR podcast that he has been advised by his surgeon and another doctor to avoid boarding a plane and risking another fall. Ross said he is bitterly disappointed but admitted it’s not worth taking a risk. Here’s what JR said:

“I really wanted to go to London this week; I really did. You’ve got to have goals, and you’ve got to have destinations; that was my next one. Both my brain surgeon and another doctor confided and said, ‘You need to steer your a** off the airplane because if you fall or get hurt, they got to make an emergency landing. If you fall in London, you got to go to a London hospital. It’s not worth the risk.’ I understand it. I’m disappointed, very disappointed. I’ll be watching for sure. But that’s the way it goes sometimes.”
