WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts has provided a new update on his health, revealing he recently underwent another major surgery but is recovering well.
Speaking in an interview with CYInterview, Jake Roberts shared that he recently had his third hip replacement. The procedure was more complicated than usual because doctors had to replace a hip that had already been operated on previously.
“They had to do some extra work,” Roberts explained. “But they took care of everything and I came out of it okay.”
Roberts also noted that he continues to manage COPD, though he said the condition is currently under control.

In addition to the hip surgery, Jake Roberts revealed that doctors implanted a Watchman device in his chest. The medical implant helps reduce the risk of strokes by preventing blood clots.

“I feel good overall,” he said. “I’m getting older and I know that, and I accept it. I’m not upset about it at all. I’ve had a great life, so whatever comes next, I’m good with it.”
Roberts has battled numerous health issues throughout his life, including COPD and injuries related to the physical toll of his wrestling career. In recent years, he has remained involved in the industry through appearances and mentorship roles, continuing to share his experience with the next generation of wrestlers.
