Jim Ross Undergoing Another Shunt Surgery

As noted before, AEW commentator Jim Ross underwent successful brain surgery this past August to deal with a health issue that has affected his memory since his lengthy hospital stay for an undisclosed medical issue this past June. Ross recently revealed that he has been dealing with “blistering headaches” since his surgery that has been caused by the shunt placed in his brain and had underwent a successful second surgery earlier this month to fix the issue with his shunt. Ross was hospitalized again this past October due to a low oxygen health issue.

Grilling JR podcast co-host Conrad Thompson provided an update earlier today on Twitter stating that Ross underwent another shunt surgery this morning.

“Good ole JR is having shunt surgery this morning.

Let’s all pray for his speedy recovery! 🙏

Jim deserves a break.

@JRsBBQ is tagged here so send some positive vibes his way so when he’s in recovery, his timeline is flooded with positive. ♥️”
