AEW's roster comprises several former WWE stars, including Jon Moxley, Mercedes Mone, Toni Storm, Ricochet, Bobby Lashley, Adam Copeland, Swerve Strickland, and others. Tony Khan has immense faith in them, and they have proved why they got signed in the first place over the months.

One of the biggest former WWE names in All Elite Wrestling is the legendary commentator, Jim Ross. The 73-year-old played a significant role in establishing World Wrestling Entertainment as a global brand. He is now an important part of the Jacksonville-based company, and fans worldwide adore him. Unfortunately, he is currently on a hiatus due to health issues.

Ross successfully underwent surgery for colon cancer a few months back. Thankfully, he has been recovering well, and on a recent episode of his Grilling JR podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer said that he has been feeling better and healthier than he has in a long time.

“I'm better. I'm better today than I've been in a long time. Feel good… Feel healthier than I felt in a long time. I've got plenty of energy. Life is good, man. Life is good. I'm alive. A few months ago at this time, I wasn't so sure about the outcome. But here I am,” he said. H/T: [WrestlePurists' X handle]

AEW's Jim Ross reveals that he might return to the commentary desk soon

In the same Grilling JR episode mentioned above, the 73-year-old revealed that there are plans for him to return soon. He might, in fact, be present at the commentary desk for Full Gear 2025.

"Yeah, absolutely! That’s the plan. In the next few weeks, so, yeah, I’m excited about that opportunity,” said Ross.

Jim Ross is still one of the best professional wrestling commentators in the business. Hopefully, he will be involved with AEW for several years to come.
