Jim Ross Says He’s Going To ‘Step Away To Heal,’ Apologizes For How He Sounded On AEW Collision

Jim Ross needs to heal. 

Following AEW Collision, Jim Ross took to social media to apologize for how he sounded on the show. He also said he would be stepping away to heal.

Ahead of the debut episode of AEW Collision, Jim Ross revealed that he suffered a bad fall in Chicago, showing off his black eye on social media. 

Ross was still part of AEW Collision, joining Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness on commentary for the main event between CM Punk & FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) and Samoa Joe & Bullet Club Gold (Jay White & Juice Robinson). 

Ross’ voice was audibly not 100% as he helped call the action. 

Bad fall this morning.

Still headed to Chicago for Collision!
