WWE Hall of Famer and AEW commentator Jim Ross recently underwent surgery to place a shunt in his brain to help drain excess fluid. While he noted that the surgical cut on his skull is healing well, the shunt itself is now causing major complications.
Speaking on Grilling JR, Ross revealed that he is dealing with terrible headaches that constantly interrupt his sleep:
&#8220;I&#8217;m having blistering headaches. My head hurts so bad that I wake up in the middle of the night more often than not. You know, 2:00 or 3:00, 4:00 in the morning because I got a headache. And I don&#8217;t normally&#8230; I watched too many John Wayne movies over my lifetime to say that I&#8217;m complaining because I have a headache.
The only thing I can say is that it probably would remind me of, or what I think anyway, a migraine headache is that could be debilitating. So that&#8217;s the situation. The wound on my skull is healing nicely, but it&#8217;s a situation with the shunt.&#8221;
In an update, JR has revealed that he will undergo another brain surgery:
&#8220;Getting another brain surgery Wednesday morning to address an issue with my shunt. Positive thoughts appreciated. Thanks.&#8221;

On Busted Open Radio, John Cena discussed Gunther&#8217;s current WWE booking:
&#8220;I know there is sentiment out there like, &#8216;Man, they&#8217;re wasting Gunther.&#8217; Maybe currently they are. But I don&#8217;t see the view from the penthouse. I&#8217;m not in those meetings where they&#8217;re just looking at the whiteboard, connecting the dots. Maybe they&#8217;re just cooling him off. Maybe they&#8217;re putting him away from TV. I don&#8217;t know.
What I am gonna do is I&#8217;m not gonna challenge the opinion of, &#8216;I&#8217;m not gonna give this for this guy and you&#8217;re gonna forget him.&#8217; This is the work that I need to do for today, and we&#8217;re gonna make him look the best we can, and I&#8217;m gonna give him as much steam as I can, and what you do with it afterwards, that ain&#8217;t my call.&#8221;

New details have come to light regarding the heartbreaking passing of AEW star Benjamin Satterley, known in the ring as PAC, after Des Plaines police released an official incident report detailing his final hours.
Authorities discovered the 40-year-old wrestler unresponsive inside a rental car parked outside a CAVA restaurant around 4:00 PM on September 27, just a day after he competed against Andrade El Idolo at the NOW Arena in Chicago at All Out.
Officers noted that while Satterley had dried saliva on the front of his shirt and medication inside the car (the name of which was blacked out in public records), a check of his backpack, pockets, and the scene showed no obvious signs of foul play or suspicious markings.
When an officer answered Satterley&#8217;s ringing phone, a woman who knew him explained that he had called around 1:20 PM saying he was stopping for lunch before heading to O&#8217;Hare International Airport for a delayed flight back home to the United Kingdom after weeks on the road, with Google Maps on his phone still set with directions to the terminal.
An official cause of death has not yet been determined, as the Cook County Medical Examiner&#8217;s office waits for further toxicology tests following an initial autopsy.

WWE NXT wrestler Arianna Grace (Bianca Carelli) has gone to court in Florida to secure a restraining order against coworker Keanu Carver (Kevin Robertson), backed by pages of text messages showing her begging him to stay away.
Following her petition, a judge granted a temporary stalking protection order, with a formal court hearing scheduled for later this month.
According to text messages obtained by TMZ, Grace repeatedly told Robertson she had no interest in dating him, directly warned him that showing up at her home late at night was completely out of line, and cautioned him to go away or she would reach out to third parties for help.
In an update from PWInsider, Keanu Carver has been removed from WWE&#8217;s internal roster and has been released from the company.
