Jim Ross continues to move forward in his recovery following last week’s brain surgery. The AEW commentator underwent a shunt procedure on August 12 and originally hoped to return home by Friday. That plan ended up being a little too optimistic, but Ross says he’s getting closer as he works through rehab and physical therapy.
Ross posted an update today, explaining that he’s putting in full days of treatment and still has his eyes on making the trip to London for AEW All In 2026. He wrote, “Full day of rehab and physical therapy as I’m one step closer to going home. Appreciate all your well wishes. Goal is to work Wembley Stadium at the end of August.”
All In takes place on August 30, which is now less than two weeks away. Ross’ current AEW role has him calling select matches on pay‑per‑view events, though his contract is scheduled to expire sometime this month. Even so, Ross is pushing to be part of the broadcast team at Wembley Stadium if his recovery allows it.
Jim Ross’ brain procedure
Ross’ surgery involved drilling a small hole into his skull so doctors could insert a tube to drain excess fluid from his brain. He has been dealing with memory issues, balance problems and frequent falls, and he’s hopeful the procedure will help stabilize those symptoms. Ross even shared a photo after surgery showing the incision on his head, giving fans a look at what he’s been working through.
For now, Ross remains focused on rehab, recovery and getting back home. Whether he makes it to London is still uncertain, but his latest update shows he’s determined to try — and he’s not backing away from the goal.
Ross’ progress will likely become clearer over the next several days as he continues treatment and AEW moves closer to All In. Fans hoping to see him at Wembley may get their answer soon, depending on how quickly his recovery advances.
