Throughout his battle, Ross received overwhelming support, particularly highlighting AEW President Tony Khan’s unwavering care and backing.
“He really supported me, and I’m truly thankful. That’s how a boss should act—taking care of their people. Tony Khan definitely took care of me,” Ross expressed.
