Jim Ross has never done anything the easy way, and he’s continued that theme just hours ahead of AEW Collision.
Posting on social media, the WWE Hall of Famer shared a photo of a nasty-looking black eye, commenting that he’d suffered a bad fall. However, he said that he’s still heading to Chicago for the debut of AEW Collision.
Bad fall this morning.
Still headed to Chicago for Collision!

In a recent post on X, Jim Ross has stated he is “hopeful” of returning to AEW for All In.
Jim Ross To Form Part Of AEW Collision Commentary Team
On June 16th, Tony Khan announced that Jim Ross will form part of the commentary team for AEW Collision alongside recent signing Nigel McGuinness and Kevin Kelly. JR and Kevin Kelly have worked together previously during their respective spells in WWE.
This will leave Excalibur, Taz, and Tony Schiavone as the three-man booth on Dynamite.

In the years that followed the Hall of Famer transitioned into becoming a play-by-play announcer and held the role in Mid-South Wrestling, Jim Crockett Promotions, WCW, WWE, and briefly in NJPW before heading to AEW.
AEW Collision is set to feature the return of CM Punk who has been away from the company since September 2022. The show will also feature the in-ring returns of Andrade El Idolo and Miro who have also been out of action for lengthy periods.
