Jim Ross Hopes To Be Back In Action For AEW All In

Legendary AEW announcer Jim Ross has provided an update on his health, noting that he would like to be back in the booth by All In on August 27, but would ideally be back sooner. 

Stating his goal on a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast, Ross said: 

"I really want to make Wembley. Right now, I don't know if I can. I hope so. I don't want to say I have a target date, but you have to have some kind of goal. Wembley is my goal. I hope I'm back before then, but certainly Wembley is something I want to be part of."

The WWE Hall of Famer called the main event of AEW Collision on June 17, but noted afterwards that he was taking some time away to heal. Ross had been involved in a fall the night before the Collision premiere and believes he suffered a concussion. 

Regarding his current health, the 71-year-old said: 

"I had a rough week on my leg. I'm not changing doctors, I'm just adding to doctors. I went to one doctor and he said, 'I have to get you to a specialist that can give you an antibiotic shot.' 'Why can't you do it?'. That's not what I do.' They recommend me to this guy. It's been a challenging week. I think we've made some improvements. We have a good game plan, I just need a break. I need a break in the action and move on. It will happen. I have good doctors, good care. If I don't get the results that we're looking for, I'll go to the Mayo clinic and start over and see where it takes us. I'm okay, it's going to be alright. It's just frustrating as heck to have to deal with this every day." 

JR recently revealed that he doesn't have long left on his AEW contract, though he hopes to continue working with the promotion after it expires.
