Jim Ross is sporting two black eyes at the moment. Ross suffered a fall recently, missing a step and hitting his face on the concrete while at a friend’s house. The WWE Hall of Famer posted the following on Saturday before also adding he would still be at the OU football game that day:
Took a bad bump last night. The concrete went over.
Still going to @OU_Football tonight. #BoomerSooner pic.twitter.com/7Hl506SrQ6

The swelling on Ross’ face then further developed or he suffered another fall as he is now sporting a black eye on the right side of his face too.
Ross would later state on Saturday that his OU team won a “bowling shoe ugly” football game, perhaps fitting for the day he was having:
Bowling Show Ugly win for my @OU_Football team #Underwhelming #BewareOfMorgantown

JR also said he currently has a concussion but will still be at WrestleCade next Saturday:
Under my current condition (concussion) I’m just traveling to Winston Salem on Friday to attend @WrestleCade Saturday from 10-3. @teamheadlock https://t.co/hAii0vJMCL

Yesterday, Ross uploaded another pic which shows the swelling on his face has gotten worse. He also said his headaches are getting better, however.
Nothing like a pair of black eyes!
Headaches have lessened.
Getting ready for @WrestleCade this Sat 10a/3p.
Thanks for well wishes! ? pic.twitter.com/LG2tHa4g4I

Jim Ross WWE/NJPW/AXS TV Contract Status
Ross’ contractual status has made headlines recently. He said he’ll be finishing up with AXS TV calling NJPW at the end of the year. He is currently under contract with WWE until the spring and has said he is currently unable to legally negotiate a new deal with AXS TV.
JR addressed his contract status on his podcast last week.
“It’s a tough week for me with AXS TV,” Ross said. “I’m here (in Los Angeles), going to do my last three shows for them (yesterday). That will take us through the end of the year on our Friday night slot on Mark Cuban’s network.”
