Jim Ross Apologizes and Plans to Step Away to Heal After AEW Collision Performance

Jim Ross apologized on Twitter for his voice issues during the main event of AEW Collision and announced that he will step away to heal. Despite sustaining a black eye earlier in the day, Ross was present for the event and joked that his hoarse voice was caused by his excitement. The main event featured CM Punk's return match, with Punk and AEW Tag Team Champions FTR defeating "Switchblade" Jay White, Juice Robinson, and Samoa Joe. Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness will make up the commentary team for future broadcasts, with Ross expected to join them at times.
