“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!,” he wrote.

Ross has battled a number of health issues in the last few years. Last year, he said his cancer was ‘gone’ and was looking forward to returning at AEW All In that August. He did do commentary for that event, but also revealed he had suffered ‘a bad fall’ just days before AEW’s biggest show of the year.

Earlier this month, Jim Ross returned to AEW’s commentary team to call Dynamite in his home state of Oklahoma.
