Jim Ross Reveals He’s Set to Undergo Brain Surgery

Veteran commentator Jim Ross is scheduled to undergo another surgery.

On the latest edition of his Grilling JR podcast, the legendary commentator provided an update on his health status. As noted previously, Ross took to social media last month to reveal that he had been in the hospital for three weeks. Later, PWInsider reported that Ross suffered a fall after returning from AEW Double or Nothing 2026. He had also suffered a fall before departing for the show.

Toward the end of June, JR revealed that he was returning home after an extended stay in the hospital. On the latest Grilling JR podcast, the AEW veteran revealed that he is getting ready to undergo brain surgery and is cutting back on his public appearances. JR added that the surgery has been approved by a cardiologist, and he is pushing for it to take place in the next week or so.

Here’s what Jim Ross said (quotes via Fightful)

“I feel pretty good. I’m getting better every day, but I still got a ways to go. I can’t drive yet. I’m cutting back on my appearances. I got one big one coming up in Minneapolis in a few weeks. I’m just battling. I’m getting ready to have another surgery, brain surgery this time. That’s going to be an adventure. I don’t think they’re going to find much in my brain. I’ll be in the hospital for a few days. Hopefully nothing will go wrong. I’ve got a great surgeon.”
