In a shocking turn of events, the real reason behind the departure of Jim Ross from AEW has been unveiled. The beloved commentator, known for his unmatched charisma and love for the sport, recently faced a formidable opponent outside the ring: skin cancer.
In 2021, Ross received a devastating diagnosis that shook him to the core. Undeterred, the 71-year-old embarked on a courageous battle against the disease, undergoing rigorous rounds of chemotherapy. Throughout this challenging period, Ross displayed unwavering determination, inspiring fans and fellow wrestlers alike with his resilience.
Just two months ago, a beacon of hope shone through the darkness. Ross took to Twitter to share a positive update on his improving health, announcing that he had successfully triumphed over skin cancer. However, this victory came at a cost.
