Jim Ross Planned For AEW All In Return

Jim Ross is set to return to All Elite Wrestling for All In Texas, with the veteran announcer now cancer-free.

Ross has spent much of the past few years battling several health problems, but after his latest round of surgery was a success, JR noted he hoped he could be back at work for All In on July 12.

Talking to Conrad Thompson on the latest episode of Grilling JR, Ross confirmed he will be in Texas for All In:

“Oh, absolutely, absolutely,” Ross responded when asked if he’ll be at All In. “Yeah, I’ll be there. I want to fly in on Thursday and do our business on Friday. And then I’ll be at the pay-per-view on Saturday.”

‘Good ol’ JR’s health battles have been gruelling, with Ross fighting skin cancer, colon cancer, and various other maladies in the past few years. Ross admitted that his battle with colon cancer did leave him in a state of fear:

“I think fear is the biggest enemy. I have good doctors here in Jacksonville, so that all worked out fine. So I’m just very blessed that I’ve got past the worst part,” Ross said. “So as we stand here now and you and I are talking to our fans and stuff, I’m very happy that I’m where I am health-wise. I’m lucky, very lucky. So — it’s all good, man. You just got to stay positive and move forward. And that’s what I’ve tried to do. Even though there were days where I was wondering if this was meant to be. But, obviously, it is meant to be. Here I am. Here we are. So let’s get on with it.”

Whilst it is unknown which match or matches Ross will be on hand to call at All In, JR has stated he would like to be in the booth for Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega.
