Jim Ross Set to Leave Hospital on Tuesday After 22-Day Stay

Jim Ross is heading home. The AEW commentating legend shared an update with fans confirming he is being discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, capping off a stay that stretched to at least 22 days as of June 20, when he first publicly acknowledged his condition.

Ross did not specify what had landed him in the hospital, keeping the medical details private. Earlier reporting from PWInsider indicated that he had suffered a fall in the aftermath of AEW Double or Nothing, though Ross himself has not confirmed the nature of his injury or illness.

The news is an encouraging sign for one of professional wrestling’s most recognizable voices. Ross, who spent decades as the lead play-by-play man for WWE before joining AEW at the promotion’s launch in 2019, has faced a number of health challenges in recent years. His fans and colleagues across the industry have rallied around him throughout this latest scare.

With Ross now cleared to go home, attention will naturally turn to what his recovery timeline looks like and when — or whether — he returns to the commentary booth. AEW has not made any official announcements regarding his broadcast status. For now, getting out of the hospital is the win that matters most, and by all accounts, that milestone is here.
