Jim Ross returned to the AEW commentary team for the January 7th 2026 edition of Dynamite in his home state of Oklahoma. He was also scheduled to attend the January 21st Dynamite in Orlando, FL but wrote the following message to fans via Twitter/X…

“Great #CFBPlayoff game tonight! Congrats to @IUHoosiers for an amazing win vs @CanesFootball. My trip to Orlando for @AEW Dynamite is postponed due to an untimely fall that saw me lying on my living room floor for 5 hours. I’ll be watching!”

JR has been dealing with health issues in recent years. In 2024, he wrote on Twitter/X that he had an “unexpected” trip to an emergency room in Norman, Oklahoma due to “shortness of the breath” and later revealed that he had contracted a virus. In 2025, he underwent colon cancer surgery which was successful.
