Jake Roberts Recovering Following Hospitalisation With Pneumonia

Wrestling legend Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts is recovering at home after recently being hospitalised due to a bout of pneumonia.

Roberts spent four days in hospital at the start of the year, with the WWE Hall of Famer noting on his Snake Pit podcast that he is already feeling a bit better:

“I’m doing a little bit better. I had a pretty scary moment last week. I got incredibly sick, and I wound up going to the hospital on Friday night at about 2 o’clock in the morning, and I don’t remember a damn thing. It’s pretty scary, but I came to find out I had pneumonia, and that’s not a good thing for me. I already have COPD, and to get pneumonia is like you’re flirting with disaster there.

“I was in the hospital for four days and very grateful to find out that I’ve got a couple of issues and I did not know. One is I had blood in my urine, didn’t know that. Another thing is, apparently, I’m leaking blood somewhere in my gut, and that’s causing my iron levels to be low, so that’s not a good thing.

“Then, to top it off, I got a problem with my ticker. But by going in, I caught it, and we got to go have a couple of procedures done, and it’ll be all hunky dory then,” said Roberts.

Roberts has suffered numerous health complaints over the past few years, with the AEW star signing a new deal with the promotion in early 2024 before becoming the manager of La Faccion Ingobernable in October.
