Jim Ross has provided an update on his health. 

The 72-year-old posted to social media on Tuesday that he is out of the rehab facility and improving daily following a broken hip and two surgeries. 

Ross wrote:

First full day on Jax Beach and out of the rehab facility! Using a cane for now. Improving daily. Broken hip responding well. Excited for my future with @AEW! 

Ross revealed on February 1 that he had undergone cancer surgery on his right hip, although he did not mention his hip being broken at the time. 

“Had cancer surgery this morning on my right hip. All went well. Thanks for all your love & support!” Ross wrote. 

On February 5, Ross revealed that he’d had another procedure done.

“Another successful surgery hopefully. Need your prayers,” he posted. 

Ross also noted on his podcast last month that his contract with AEW expired on February 14, 2024. While there hasn’t been confirmation that he’s signed a new deal, Ross said he’s spoken to Tony Khan about getting to call Sting’s last match at AEW Revolution along with Tony Schiavone. 

I mentioned that to Tony Khan last night. He agreed. It’s only right. It makes sense.

How can I say this without sounding like a turd? I think there’s money in Schiavone and I working together. Not just in Greensboro, but going forward, sporadically. And we have great chemistry, we’ve never lost that.

If he and I are doing the match with Sting and company… I believe it’s the right thing to do.

I need to get signed up so I can be there.
