Jim Ross suffers fall, back injury and missed flight before AEW Double or Nothing

AEW commentator Jim Ross disclosed that a fall early on Saturday caused a serious back injury, forcing him to miss an early morning flight to New York for the Double or Nothing weekend. After being re‑booked, he arrived at LaGuardia and checked into a hotel, where his back gave out again, leaving him unable to function for the remainder of the event. Ross said the experience highlighted the need to keep his phone within arm’s reach during travel. He also revealed that doctors are monitoring him for possible dementia or Alzheimer’s, having undergone recent neurological testing. Despite the setbacks, Ross reported feeling generally well and emphasized he will take any preventative steps advised by his physicians.
