Cody Rhodes would like to get in the ring with Jake Roberts.
Jake 'The Snake' Roberts and Cody Rhodes share a history together, as during Cody's time with All Elite Wrestling, the two crossed paths in 2020 as Roberts' began managing Lance Archer. During this time, the two men would share the ring with a microphone in hand, but Rhodes would also have liked to wrestle Jake in the past.
While speaking to WLTX News ahead of the October 18th edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Cody Rhodes was asked who, past or present, he would like to share the ring with. In his answer, Cody named the 'sinister' Roberts.
"So I always, I change my answer so frequently and then people online, this is a polarizing subject. So I always say like the answer is going to change a lot. But I had recently started thinking the way I am as a wrestler and I guess a character and how I fit into WWE, I'd really like to get in there with Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. Because Jake The Snake, when he was a bad guy, was really just like psychologically menacing and different. He wasn't yelling. It wasn't the like big bombastic 80s promos. He was really sinister, like ahead of his time. But Jake Roberts."
Roberts continues to manage in AEW, where he is now the advocate for LFI's RUSH, The Beast Mortos and Dralistico.
Roberts was initially slated for a short term gig with AEW. You can read more about that here.
