AEW veteran commentator Jim Ross successfully underwent shunt brain surgery without complications. He is now recovering well following the procedure. The latest positive update came from Conrad Thompson.

Conrad Thompson shared an encouraging update on X, formerly known as Twitter. He confirmed that Jim Ross underwent shunt surgery and he is now recovering after the successful surgery. Thompson shared the positive news with wrestling fans.

He wrote, “JR is out of surgery and everything went well! Praise God!” He also included a GIF featuring Ross.

He has been in and out of hospitals this year. Ross previously underwent his first brain surgery this summer. It was also expected to improve his memory problems. However, Ross later started experiencing severe headaches.

This eventually led to another brain surgery in October. Ross was eventually discharged and continued recovering at home. Thompson previously confirmed Ross was making progress. However, he wasn’t ready to return to podcasting.

His health problems also affected his wrestling appearances. Ross has been working reduced hours recently. He hopes to return to AEW commentary soon.
