Speaking on his recent Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross said that he is taking some time off from AEW programming starting this week to let his leg heal.
“My doctor believes that if I take a few weeks off, I’m not sure how many, we’ll see, it’s gotta heal,” he said. “Being off an airplane for a few weeks will be good for my leg to heal, so what’s what I’m gonna do.”
Later in the show, Ross also confirmed that his current AEW contract only “a few months left” on it. He then said that Tony Khan has told to him he wants him (Ross) to remain with the company.
“It’s still got a few months left, and Tony Khan has indicated to me as early as this week, at least to my representative Barry Bloom, he’d like for me to stay…I’m not looking to go anywhere. It’s just [that] I need to heal, and that’s all.”
