Jim Ross returns to commentary booth on AEW Collision

Posted: Aug 6th 2023 By: Bryan Rose

Jim Ross made his return to AEW television on Saturday’s Collision.

Ross made his way to the ring prior to the main event, where proceeded to provide color commentary for the main event between CM Punk and Ricky Starks alongside Nigel McGuiness and Ian Riccaboni.

Last appearing on the debut edition of Collision on June 17, Ross has been out of action due to injuries suffered during a fall that took place one day earlier. He later took to Twitter to apologize for his performance that night, where he called the main event.

“I apologize for the way I sounded tonight," he wrote. "Going to step away to heal. Thanks for your support.”

Ross later said he had suffered a concussion as a result of the fall, and would take time off to recuperate.

In the main event of Saturday’s Collision, CM Punk successfully defended the “Real World Championship” against Ricky Starks. Ricky Steamboat, who served as a special guest outside enforcer, made the count after the referee was knocked out. Starks attacked Steamboat after the match, with CM Punk making the save.
