Perry Saturn Hospitalized After Contracting COVID-19 for a Third Time
Saturn addressed his absence directly in a video posted to his official YouTube channel, joined by his show co-host and former WWE star Maven. The pair had earlier spoken about Saturn being hospitalized, and Saturn returned to the channel himself to explain what had happened.
According to Saturn, he contracted COVID-19 despite already being vaccinated. He added that the illness came with an upper respiratory infection, which was treated, and said he had been having trouble talking during his recovery. It was, he revealed, his third time catching COVID-19, but this time it arrived alongside the additional infection.
For fans who had noticed his absence and worried about the worst, the update was reassuring in its tone as much as its content. Saturn was back on camera, speaking for himself, and clearly in good enough spirits to joke about the situation.
Saturn Jokes His Co-Hosts Made It Sound Like a Eulogy
Saturn could not resist poking fun at the earlier video in which his co-host and Maven discussed his hospitalization. He joked that the way they spoke about him made it sound like a eulogy, and said some of his family and friends reached out afterward to check on him.
He joked that he could not have paid for better publicity than that, a typically dry response from a wrestler who has never been shy about laughing at himself. The lighthearted tone will come as a relief to fans, who have followed Saturn through plenty of ups and downs since his days in WCW and WWE.
Saturn rose to prominence as part of The Radicalz and later as a member of the WWE roster during the Attitude Era, and he has remained a familiar voice in wrestling circles through his podcast and YouTube work. Updates like this one tend to travel fast in the wrestling community, where former stars keep close tabs on each other long after their in-ring careers end.
What Saturn’s Update Means for Fans
The key takeaway from Saturn’s video is simple: he is back, he is talking, and he is well enough to laugh about the scare. While he did not lay out a detailed timeline for his full recovery, his return to his own channel speaks for itself, and fans will be watching for his next appearance.
For now, the wrestling world can breathe a little easier. Saturn survived his third bout with COVID-19, got treatment for the accompanying infection, and is already back doing what he does best: telling stories, cracking jokes, and keeping his audience guessing about what he will say next.
