Jake “The Snake” Roberts Underwent Heart Ablation Surgery

WWE Hall of Famer and AEW manager Jake “The Snake” Roberts underwent heart ablation surgery earlier today.

The announcement was made by Roberts’ wife Cheryl on Instagram who stated:

“Jake’s going in for heart ablation surgery this morning. Calling all prayers warriors 🙏🏻 good vibes, and well wishes are welcomed & appreciated.”

The Mayo Clinic defines heart ablation surgery as a “treatment for irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias. It uses heat or cold energy to create tiny scars in the heart. The scars block faulty heart signals and restore a typical heartbeat. Cardiac ablation is most often done using thin, flexible tubes called catheters that are inserted through a blood vessel. Less commonly, ablation is done during heart surgery.” This surgery is a minimally invasive procedure.

Besides his heart surgery, Roberts has also been dealing with several other health-related issues over the past year.
