Jake Roberts says both companies gave him permission.
Jake Roberts has been with AEW since 2020, but he has continued to be part of the roster of WWE 2K games. He was recently confirmed for WWE 2K25.
Speaking on his The Snake Pit podcast, Jake Roberts answered various questions from fans. In one highlight, he was asked to comment on how he could be in WWE 2K games while he was working for AEW.
“Well, I’m special. It’s a situation where I’m going to work for AEW, and I’d like to keep my legends contract. I told AEW that I was going to try to keep it. They said, ‘Fine, do it.’ So when I went to WWE, I told them I was going to work for AEW, and they gave me their blessing. Let’s face it, they still want to make money off of me," Roberts said.
