On his latest podcast, WWE Hall of Famer and commentary legend Jim Ross revealed that he’d be getting surgery today to remove the last remnants of skin cancer on his shoulder. This is being done as a follow-up to his initial surgery from back in 2016, and while this may initially sound serious, Ross certainly isn’t going to let it impact him as he gears up for his appearance on Chris Jericho’s Cruise.

JR also had the following to say in regards to Roman Reigns’ leukemia announcement on Monday Night RAW:
Sometimes in our lives in wrestling, when we think we’ve seen everything, something comes along once or twice in a career, maybe once in a lifetime that creates an event or a moment that can’t be replicated with auditions, scripts, rehearsals and walkthroughs. The fact that WWE allowed Roman to come to the ring and make this announcement in his own words, and I assure you, they were in his own words, I thought was very admirable.
We wish Jim Ross all the best on his recovery from skin cancer surgery.
