Jim Ross Nearing Hospital Discharge After More Than Three Weeks Inpatient

Jim Ross appears to be on the mend. The 74-year-old AEW commentary legend recently shared an upbeat update with fans, revealing that he is expected to be released from the hospital soon following a stay that stretched well past three weeks.

Ross made the disclosure himself, noting that he had been hospitalized in his hometown of Norman, Oklahoma, for 22 days at the time of the update. He did not detail the specific circumstances that led to the admission, though falls have been a documented concern for him in recent times.

The good news marks a welcome turn for one of professional wrestling’s most iconic voices. Ross, who built his reputation across decades calling matches for WWE before becoming a cornerstone of AEW’s broadcast team, has faced a number of health challenges in recent years. His longevity in the business and continued presence on commentary have made him a beloved figure across generations of wrestling fans, and well-wishes from the wrestling community have poured in whenever his health has become a topic of concern.

With a discharge reportedly on the horizon, the focus now shifts to what his recovery timeline looks like and when, or whether, he might return to a broadcast role in AEW. No specifics on that front have been shared publicly at this point. For now, the priority is simply getting Ross healthy and back home — and by his own account, that moment appears to be drawing close.
