WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts recently underwent surgery.

Roberts faced multiple significant health challenges throughout 2025 amid his ongoing battles with chronic conditions.​

Early in the year, he was hospitalized with pneumonia, a dangerous complication given his pre-existing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

During his hospitalization, doctors discovered he was leaking blood in his gut, which caused low iron levels, and found blood in his urine.

Roberts revealed in his podcast:

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.

In May 2025, the WWE Hall of Famer underwent successful heart ablation surgery to correct arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat, as confirmed by his partner on Instagram.
