WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has been diagnosed with colon cancer.

The 73-year-old wrestling commentator has taken to social media to share the news of his cancer diagnosis with his followers, revealing that he will undergo surgery “in the next week or two.”

Ross — who served as the WWE’s main commentator throughout the company’s Attitude Era in the late 90s and early 2000s — shared the following message on X:

Ross has worked for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019, and the promotion company has expressed its support for the legendary commentator, who is also known as JR.

“All Elite Wrestling joins fans around the world in sending love and support to Jim Ross as he battles colon cancer. J.R. is a valued member of the AEW family, and we stand beside him during his journey toward recovery,” AEW says in a tweet.

Ross has also received support from former WWE star Matt Hardy.

The 50-year-old star — who previously wrestled alongside his brother Jeff in the WWE — writes: “Love ya, JR! Thinking about and praying for you, my friend.”

Ross was previously diagnosed with skin cancer in October 2021, and the TV star took to social media at the time to announce the news. “Skin cancer confirmed. Waiting on radiologist study to determine best treatment. Likely radiation. Feeling great and ready to attack,” he said nearly four years ago.

Two months later, he said he was “cancer free” and that he planned to return to commentary duties at AEW.

The veteran broadcaster also thanked Tony Khan, the founder and co-owner of AEW, for supporting him through his recovery.
