“Jr is stronger than skin cancer,” wrote Missy Hyatt in response to his post.

Ross also missed several weeks of AEW programming from November to December last year on doctor’s advice. The 71-year-old has been dealing with a leg wound due to radiation therapy for skin cancer he received in 2021. As the wound has had difficulty healing, doctors felt he should avoid flying for some time to help. He was also told that high blood sugar levels might be impacting the wound’s healing. Ross noted on his podcast in December that he had been prescribed insulin injections to combat his high blood sugar levels.
