Jim Ross Set For Second Brain Procedure To Address Shunt Issue - Fightful

Ross said the procedure will address complications from a shunt placed in August, after headaches and sleep trouble forced another operation.

  • Jim Ross announced he will undergo brain surgery on Wednesday to address an ongoing issue with his shunt, the AEW commentator revealed on social media.
  • Ross first received the shunt earlier this year in August, forcing him to miss AEW All In London, compounding health struggles including cancer of the skin, hip, and colon since 2021.
  • On the Grilling podcast, Ross detailed recent complications, stating "he has been getting such bad headaches that he" struggled to sleep and compared the pain to severe migraines.
  • Beyond the brain procedure, doctors recently identified a spot on his kidney that could potentially be cancerous; Ross will travel to Oklahoma City to consult with a specialist.
  • There is currently no timeframe for when Ross might return to AEW, though Fightful plans to provide updates once the commentator shares his post-surgery status.
