Jake Roberts reflects on how he got his start with All Elite Wrestling.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts shocked the world when he appeared in AEW, confronting Cody Rhodes on the March 4, 2020 AEW Dynamite. Roberts would be paired with Lance Archer, and to this day, when his health permits, he appears alongside the "Murderhawk Monster."
Reflecting on his initial appearance in AEW during a recent appearance on Rewind Recap Relive, Roberts revealed that he was initially only scheduled to be part of the company for six weeks. Then, within a month, he was offered a contract.
"We made a deal for me to be there for six weeks, and at the end of four weeks, they gave me some papers saying I was going to be there for a year. Then, when the year contract was up, they gave me another contract for two years, and I just got another contract for a year. So, yeah, I'm still there."
Roberts initially revealed that he had signed a new deal with AEW in March 2024.
Before his pairing with Jake Roberts, it was possible that Vickie Guerrero could have managed Lance Archer in AEW. Learn more about that here.
