Jim Ross is going under the knife once again today to reconnect the shunt in his brain which was deactivated after Ross reported severe headaches following initial surgery.

The news was reported by Conrad Thompson, his co-host on the Grilling JR podcast.

“Let’s all pray for his speedy recovery! Jim deserves a break,” Thompson wrote on X. “@JRsBBQ is tagged here so send some positive vibes his way so when he’s in recovery, his timeline is flooded with positive.”

The shunt was inserted to drain excess fluid from his brain to cope with memory loss and balance issues he was having. He underwent a second brain surgery after bleeding was detected.

Unfortunately for JR, health issues kept on piling since then and was recently admitted to the ER due to low oxygen.

Ross has not appeared on AEW television since the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in May.
