Jake Roberts says he has to get some procedures done.
WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts, 69, has been with AEW since 2020. He has dealt with health issues over the years, including COPD.
Speaking on his The Snake Pit podcast, Jake Roberts revealed that he was very sick recently, and he was hospitalized. He stated that he was diagnosed with pneumonia, and other issues were discovered as well.
“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. Don’t remember a damn thing. It’s pretty scary. Come to find out I had pneumonia, and that’s not a good thing for me. I already have COPD, and to get 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 on 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. 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. I’ve got this cough, but I’m doing better. It’s quite the surprise, man. Next thing I know, I’m waking up in a hospital. That was weird," Roberts said.
When asked to comment on what symptoms he was having, Roberts noted that he had a fever, and he also had a pain in his gut. He later said that he urinated blood before he went to the hospital.
