On the most recent episode of his podcast Grilling JR, Jim Ross gave an update on his health, stating:
I’m taking it a day at a time. I feel great. My leg hurts, all that stuff, that’s nothing new. It’s an open wound and it’s been open for over a year. That ain’t good.
Ross discussed the high blood sugar levels and his treatment for it, before moving on to the topic of his future in AEW:
Mentally, I feel like I’m back in the hunt competitively. I have no idea what my future is at AEW, I have no clue. And to be very frank about it, I’m not worried about it yay or nay. My work should stand on its own after 50 years for God’s sake, seriously. So, sometimes I worry too much.
When asked if he hopes to return to the company by the Worlds End pay-per-view on December 30, Ross responded:
I have the corner of my eye thought about the pay-per-view coming up that you just mentioned on Long Island. But that’s a hope that I would be healthy enough and able to work and work to the level that I need to work.
I don’t have a date. It’s just hard to plan. I don’t want to set myself up for disappointment. If I’m going to do something and I say I’m going to do it then it’s going to get done but I can’t commit to that right now because I still got some ongoing health issues that need to be addressed and they are being addressed.
