Ross shared that the cancer has been located in two places, but expressed a resilient mindset heading into the procedure. "Getting ready for surgery, and that's always stressful but I've prepared myself mentally and physically to endure the situation," Ross said on the show. He mentioned doctors anticipate a six-day hospital stay and that the surgery will be less invasive, though he was awaiting more specific details. Fortunately, he also noted that he is "not in any pain" currently. Despite the upcoming surgery, Ross remains focused on his career and has no plans to step away from wrestling. While he stated, "I'm thinking I'll really slow down after the surgery. I'll talk to the doctor, and see what he says. I'll try to really slow down when this is over," he also believes he can maintain his previous AEW schedule. "I could still do my schedule I had, but I don't know if anybody else believes that. I believe it. I still would love to do the pay-per-views in AEW, but I don't know if Tony will want me on, I don't know." He definitively added, "I don't plan on retiring, I plan on getting healthy and getting well and doing something for somebody and we'll see how that works out."
