Summary
- WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back in the hospital due to low oxygen.
- Ross has a history of significant health challenges including cancer.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has been admitted to the hospital once more, citing low oxygen levels as the reason for his return. The veteran commentator, known for his work with AEW, shared a photo from his hospital bed, informing fans he weighed 198 pounds and needed a break.
Ross has faced numerous health issues in recent years. This hospitalization follows a period where he spent over 30 days in the hospital and confirmed he would undergo surgery to insert a shunt into his brain to manage normal pressure hydrocephalus. He also revealed earlier in 2026 that he had suffered a serious fall at home.
Fans have responded with widespread support and well wishes following his announcement. Ross's health struggles have been ongoing, with past diagnoses including Bell's palsy, skin cancer, and colon cancer. Despite these challenges, he has expressed a desire to return to work and potentially attend AEW's All In event at Wembley Stadium if his recovery permits. His contract with AEW is nearing its end, and he has suggested he may have already called his final wrestling match.
