JIM ROSS is recovering at home after suffering a Bell's Palsy attack on his way to this week's Smackdown taping.
The WWE commentator was taken ill during a flight from Oklahoma to South Carolina.
Bell's Palsy is a paralysis of the facial nerve and leaves victims unable to control their muscles on the affected side.
Ross received medication to slow down the disorder but was ruled out of filming this week's show and faces a race against time to be fit for Sunday's Bragging Rights pay-per-view.
He said: "Life is about facing the challenges we encounter so I am going to do all I can to get better and back at the announce desk ASAP.
"I wish I had more answers but I simply don't at this time. I want to be a part of Bragging Rights but only time will tell if that will be physically possible.
"My passion and love for the game is in tact but I have to do what's best for my long-term health.
"WWE has been tremendously supportive of my situation of which I am very grateful.
"Never count me out of the game as this isn't the first mountain that I have had to climb.
"Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole will handle Smackdown from Columbia. My thanks to everyone for understanding this matter.
"Better days are on the horizon."
