AEW All In 2025 is just a few days away, and so is this long-awaited return.
Hailed as the biggest All Elite Wrestling PPV, All In, is often compared in stature with WWE’s WrestleMania. While all these years the event took place at the prestigious Wembley Stadium in London, this year the PPV is scheduled to take place at the Globe Life Field in Texas.
With just a few days left for the July 12 PPV, AEW Original Jim Ross is finally confirmed to be returning at the show. Earlier this year, in May, Ross was diagnosed with colon cancer, for which he underwent surgery. Now recovering, the veteran is all set for a comeback.
Speaking on the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer announced his plans, stating his intentions to appear at All In. Ross revealed that he had to cancel a previously scheduled appearance at the Fanboy Expo in Knoxville due to conflicting dates.
Oh, absolutely, absolutely. I just got the dates, you know, screwed up. That’s my fault… But nonetheless, yeah, I’ll be there. I want to come in, and I want to fly in on Thursday and do our business on Friday, and then I’ll be at the pay-per-view on Saturday.”

In addition to his All In appearance, Ross will also be present at the Starrcast wrestling convention on Friday, July 11.
AEW Veteran Jim Ross Opens Up On Warm Conversation With Stone Cold Steve Austin Ahead Of His Cancer Surgery
Last month, during an episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross opened up his conversation with fellow WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin before his colon cancer surgery.
I was sitting there in the hospital—no, but I was at home. I was at home, and I got a call from Steve Austin. And when we got off the phone, I looked at my phone and we’d talked for 43 minutes. Forty-three minutes. And here’s what your friends do: they call you, they talk to you, and at the end of the conversation, they tell you they love you. And that’s what Steve did.
So, that’s what I got. And that cheered me up and made me feel strong and vibrant. And he said, ‘You’re going to beat this and everything’s going to be just fine. Just ride it out. Tough it out.’ I said, ‘Oh, I’m going to—I’m going to, you know, I’m going to put my uniform on and go play and give the doctor and the nurses everything they want and hopefully they’re going to do a good job.’”
At 73 years old, Jim Ross is a fighter, and we at ITR Wrestling wish the legend a speedy recovery and a long and prosperous life.
