Jim Ross wants to be on the call for AEW All In.
Jim Ross has continued to deal with health issues in recent months. He missed AEW Double or Nothing, as he was hospitalized with a virus that he contracted, but he returned for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. Ross underwent surgery earlier in July, and his status for AEW All In has not been confirmed.
Speaking on Grilling JR, Jim Ross thanked fans for their support and noted that he hoped to be at AEW All In. However, he stated that it was not a guarantee yet.
“Appreciate all the well wishes. I can’t tell you how much your get-well wishes mean. I know you haven’t forgotten me. I haven’t forgotten you, that’s for damn sure. Thanks very much for all that, and it makes me feel good to know that people still give a shit because I damn sure give a shit. I hope to be in London [for All In]. It’s not a guarantee yet, but it’s something that I’m shooting for. If I had my druthers, I’d rather be in London and working that show. Just like last year, I worked a couple matches. That was plenty. So we’ll see how it works out this time. Tony Khan’s been extremely fair with me, and I want to be extremely fair with him," Ross said.
Ross went on to reiterate that he hoped to be a part of AEW All In. He noted that the talent had a taste of the atmosphere at Wembley Stadium in 2023, so now they would know what to expect. Ross shared his belief that it would be a special show.
"I hope to be a part of that presentation because I know that now that the talent have a feel for what to expect at Wembley Stadium, and I think that’s important. They got a taste now, so let’s see how they respond. The Wembley event’s gonna be special. There’s no doubt about that," Ross said.
Fightful will provide more information as it becomes available.
