He has often walked to the ring with the school&#8217;s fight song, &#8220;Boomer Sooner,&#8221; playing.\n\nInducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007, Ross has been with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019.\n\nIn a statement, AEW expressed its support for Ross:\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>&#8220;All Elite Wrestling joins fans around the world in sending love and support to Jim Ross as he battles colon cancer.
