WWE legend Jim Ross has undergone cancer surgery on his right hip, he shared Thursday.

Ross, 72, was previously diagnosed with skin cancer in 2021, though he announced later that year that he’d beaten the disease.

Now, it appears the commentator is battling more health issues, as he publicly thanked fans for their well wishes.   

‘Had cancer surgery this morning on my right hip. All went well,’ he wrote on X.

‘Thanks for all your love & support!’

In December, Ross revealed on his ‘Grilling JR’ podcast that he was dealing with problems to his leg following his skin cancer diagnosis.

He also suffered a fall over the summer. 

‘I’m getting an MRI next week to make sure that there’s no damage to the bone in my leg, just as a precaution,’ he said, via Wrestling Inc.

‘I don’t want to deal with bone cancer, for God’s sake, and we’re pretty sure that isn’t the case.’

Ross, who had spent time away from his commentary role with AEW to recover, also shared that he was having blood sugar problems.

‘Two weeks ago, my blood sugar was 300,’ he said. ‘That’s death material, I was told. Ignorance is bliss sometimes.’

Ross was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007.
