Jim Ross was in fact in Atlanta last night, but the segment was put on hold because of a lack of time. The idea was to prolong the angle by putting the heat for it on Michael Cole. Ross tweeted the following, confirming he was in attendance:
“4 the record, I’m in Atlanta. Was informed by Raw GM’s office, my services weren’t needed. Cole wants 2 make fun of my 3 surgeries. Classy. ”
