Summary

Jim Ross says he expects to be in Queens for AEW Double or Nothing and is ready to contribute in whatever role the company needs.

Ross shared the update while discussing his health, saying a recent major physical produced his best numbers in years aside from some concern about his kidneys that doctors believe is tied to his medication. He also said he hopes to call the FTR vs. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage bout, which was recently confirmed as an I Quit match at AEW Double or Nothing.

Ross has only appeared sporadically on AEW programming in recent years and has not been on AEW television since All In 2025.

Quote from Jim Ross

"I'm gonna be there. Gonna do some work. Don't know exactly what yet, but whatever Tony Khan says, I'll run the play. He's so good to me in that respect. I don't think he knows, as we speak, that I'm going to be available in Queens. We don't talk about it. He's got more on his plate than to worry about JR's health."

What Jim Ross being available means for AEW Double or Nothing

Jim Ross being healthy enough to travel to Queens gives AEW the option of bringing back one of the company's most familiar voices for one of its biggest shows. Even if his exact role is still undecided, Ross specifically naming the FTR, Adam Copeland, and Christian Cage match suggests that contest is one he views as a natural fit for his style on commentary.

It also stands out because Ross has been absent from AEW television since All In 2025. A return at Double or Nothing would make his appearance part of the event's presentation, not just another routine update on his health.
