On Wednesday, Thompson followed up his previous post with some good news. JR is out of surgery and all is well. Thank God,” he wrote.

Ross in August successfully underwent brain surgerybut left him unable to travel AEW All In as he had hoped. A previous shunt had given him “bullet headaches,” and JR revealed that he had adjusted the shunt three times. Besides, his doctors found a spot on his kidney for which it was necessary to consult a specialist. last month, Ross underwent another brain surgery to solve the actual problem with his shunt.
during the summer Ross was in the hospital for 22 days. Before double or nothing in May, Ross fell and missed his jump. He also had a bad fall before 2025. He was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2021.
We at Wrestling Inc. wish Good Ol’ JR a smooth and speedy recovery.
