Jim Ross confirms he’ll be at AEW All In

Jim Ross is officially making the trip to Texas for AEW All In 2025.

On his Grilling JR podcast, the 73-year-old Ross confirmed that he’ll make his return to AEW at the Saturday, July 12 pay-per-view. Returning for All In was Ross’ goal after undergoing colon cancer surgery in May. That surgery was a success, and Ross is feeling “pretty damn good” now that his cancer is gone.

While in Texas, Ross will also be a guest at the Starrcast convention on the eve of the PPV.

“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.”

Ross is back making convention appearances but will have to miss a scheduled booking at Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, Tennessee due to it taking place on the same weekend as All In.

There have been numerous health challenges Ross has had to face over the last few years, but he’s hoping that the worst is behind him now. The most difficult part of his colon cancer battle was the fear of whether things would work out or not.

“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.”

In AEW, the legendary Ross’ role is to provide commentary for PPV events. He doesn’t know which matches he’ll be calling at All In, but he would like to be on commentary for Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega.
