In May, Roberts denied reports that he was in poor health. At the time, Jim Ross had recently noted that Jake “The Snake” was still dealing with breathing issues, though he was taking steps to address the issues. Roberts has battled COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and emphysema in recent years, and he previously stated that he was seeing a specialist. He had noted that he only needed to use an oxygen tank when he flew on airplanes, but now he says he’s tank-free for good.
Roberts has worked as Lance Archer’s manager since March 2020, but he has been forced to miss some time here and there.
