Update On Top AEW Name Following TV Absence

AEW

An update has emerged on AEW commentator Jim Ross, following his recent absence from TV.

Ross notably missed this week’s (March 17) edition of Rampage, with Paul Wight taking his place behind the commentary desk for the episode.

The veteran name previously noted that the journey to the AEW taping would’ve been rough, especially with his bad ankle.

Per Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Ross isn’t expected to miss any more AEW tapings.

Pointing out that Ross has been receiving treatment for his radiation wound, Meltzer said:

“Jim Ross was not on last night’s show. He was getting treatment on Tuesday and Thursday for the radiation wound he had when he was getting radiation therapy for the skin cancer.

“He told me that he will not be missing any more Fridays, so he’ll be back Wednesday. This was just a tough trip and he was having treatment done, and that’s why Paul Wight was in there (instead of) Jim Ross.”
