AEW's Jim Ross Recovering From Broken Hip

AEW's Jim Ross has taken to X to reveal he's out of a rehab facility as he recovers from a broken hip.

Good ol' JR noted how he's improving daily, is using a cane to help him get by, and has managed to spend a first full day at Jacksonville Beach.

First full day on Jax Beach and out of the rehab facility!

Using a cane for now.

Improving daily.

Broken hip responding well.

Excited for my future with @AEW! ??

This news comes on the back of Jim revealing earlier this month that he'd had cancer surgery on his right hip.

Jim Ross has been with AEW since 2019, although it appears he's nowadays working without a contract. Ross has stated several times on his Grillin' JR podcast that his AEW deal was to expire on 14 February 2024, and there's been no word yet on any extension having been signed.

For Ross' part, he's talked up how he'd be happy to re-sign with AEW, particularly in the hope of calling Sting's final match at Revolution next month. With Revolution taking place from the Greensboro Coliseum, it would certainly be fitting if Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone were at the announce desk as the Stinger and Darby Allin defend the AEW Tag Team Titles against the Young Bucks.

Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone - as well as Bob Caudle - were on the call when Sting and Ric Flair faced off at the Greensboro Coliseum for the first ever NWA Clash of the Champions event, where Sting and Flair went to a 45-minute time limit draw for the Nature Boy's NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

From all of us at WhatCulture Wrestling, all the best to the truly legendary JR in his continued recovery.
