Jake “The Snake” Roberts, member of the WWE Hall of Fame, is still regarded as one of the greatest pro wrestlers ever. Fans are still captivated by his talent to craft creepy promos and even his use of snakes that he displayed back in the day. However, it seems that Jake Roberts is involved in a backstage role with Tony Khan’s AEW and now, Roberts has shed some light on it.

Jake Roberts made a comeback on AEW television on February 24th, 2023, edition of Rampage. He recently disclosed in WrestleRant interview that he also has a job behind the scenes.

“You know, everything they’re doing now is rushed so much. They’re not taking the time to develop characters. They’ve got a lot of great athletes going out there flying through the air and doing inconceivable things to their bodies. At the end of the night, nothing sticks.

What was that? What are they gonna do next? It’s because there is not a character involved, and I’d like to see them start working on their characters. Of course, they’ll do that with interviews, that’ll help a lot, and hopefully I’ll be able to help some of those guys do better interviews. That’s my new job in AEW, and hopefully I’ll do a good job of it. But, the product is still needed, it’s still wanted, but it gets frustrating when you see the same mistakes going on and on. Sometimes I’m like, if I had some teeth to pull out I would but these are connected.”
