Despite being uneasy all day, Ross flew to Chicago. Then as that day progressed, his voice kept going in and out. He was hopeful that a hot beverage would help, but it did not.

“But it was just too much to overcome, and I apologize for how I sounded,” Ross said. “I didn’t tend to sound that way, I didn’t want to sound that way, and I know I disappointed a lot of people. I disappointed me. I don’t think it made anybody in AEW real happy how I sounded, but I was doing the best that I could.”

Ross returned to his hotel and slept in the same clothes so he could get right up and catch his flight the next morning. He’s been at home recovering ever since.

“I’ve been out of the house a few times to go to the grocery store, maybe two or three times in the last few weeks. Other than that, I’ve got people that are helping me get groceries or whatever I need, prescriptions, things like that. But I was too unsteady to drive, and sure as hell too unsteady to walk around a grocery store. So I had my housekeeper buy me a little cane, which I’m embarrassed to say I’ve used a little bit, not outside, but here in the house to help me get around so I don’t have any more falls.”
