Jake Roberts re-signs with AEW

[Chris]

Jake Roberts remains a hot commodity in pro wrestling and 'The Snake' slithered some major news about what he decided to do regarding his future with AEW.

SEScoops can confirm The Master of the DDY has inked a new contract with Tony Khan’s All Elite Wrestling. Roberts addresses the situation on the next episode of his Snake Pit, which has yet to be released publicly. Roberts tells co-host Marcus DeAngelo:

"Well folks, just to let you know, you’re gonna be looking at me on AEW for another year. That’s right, they re-signed me so that’s great news. Looking forward to doing it."

Roberts has notoriously been a creative mind on screen and behind the scenes in pro wrestling and he revealed that he had a big pitch in mind to make to Khan for this upcoming year.

"Crossing my fingers that - wouldn’t be something if we started the 'Snake Pit' back up? Listen, I’d love to talk to Tony about that.
"I’m damn sure gonna pitch it."

Much like 'Piper's Pit,' 'The Snake Pit' was Roberts' memorable talk show segment in WWE that featured major names such as Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Piper himself and many more.

Roberts signed with AEW back in 2020, confronting Cody Rhodes and teasing further doom to come for 'The American Nightmare.' He then became the manager for Lance Archer whom he has been paired with ever since.

Good for him I guess.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

do you guess though?

 

[Cwalker]

Well that’s quite the conundrum

 

[Jimmy King]

Good for Jake, he has a good mind for the business and a good veteran presence to have around.

 

[King Kota]

I just hope him and The Righteous get some screen time lot of potential in Vincent Archer Jake imo

 

[Roy Mustang]

Not sure the snake pit would work in AEW but cool he has re-signed as he has a good creative mind

 

[Dom's cellmate]

Hopefully he's feature more and don't just resign him to not use him.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

I think Jake is much more valuable behind the scenes than on screen

Is it to push Lance Archer finally?

Probably, but this goes back to my Convo with Gambit in another thread. I don't really give a fuck if it's not the "best financial move" for AEW to sign him if they're not getting that much use on or off screen. I'm just happy Jake is getting a check, he deserves it. WWE would probably give him a legends deal too if those are okay to sign new deals under TKO, but if he wants to stay with AEW instead good for him

Yeah it’s more about Jake than it is AEW.

I hate saying it but on screen, his value isn’t at its highest, but I am happy for the dude to get a solid check.
