Jim Ross Undergoes Successful Surgery On Shunt

Jim Ross has undergone successful surgery on his shunt after the procedure was postponed earlier in the day. As noted, Conrad Thompson revealed this morning that the planned surgery was postponed “after a good CT scan.” The AEW broadcaster did still have to have the surgery done though, and Thompson has since provided an update on his Twitter account.

After writing a little before 4 PM ET that JR was headed into surgery, Thompson wrote at about 5:30 PM:

“JR is out of surgery and everything went well! Praise God!”

Ross has been dealing with a number of health issues in 2026 and underwent surgery in August to have the shunt put in. He has been dealing with headaches since and had an adjustment done to the device in early October.

On behalf of 411, our best wishes to Jim Ross for a quick and full recovery.
