On the Wednesday 4th March edition of AEW Dynamite, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts made his return to the ring after 5 years. It isn’t the first time we’ve seen him in an AEW ring, but it is the first time he’s been involved in a storyline production.
Jake interrupted Cody whilst he was in the middle of his promo over the MJF loss. I was never into Jake as a competitor, but he has given his all to the ring, which is clear from the troubles he’s had over the years. Jake appeared the healthiest we’ve seen him in years and had a lot to say.
Jake began the discussion talking about how he used his snake to get him a competitive edge in the ring. He discussed how he’s seen Cody fall from grace and even called out Arn Anderson. He was fired up and he still appears as the broken, sick and twisted man who used to pull viewers in. Jake stated he is now a manager and his client is coming. His client is coming to ruin the landscape and change everything, so who could this client be?
There are some obvious choices out there with Matt Hardy being a potential choice,
The reason I believe for this is clear, AEW wants to build this character more than others. Lance is a big get for AEW but the company appears to have a competitor debut every single week. With adding Jake to the mix, it makes it a more interesting duo which is destined for destruction. One of the other reasons I believe this may be the case is that Lance tweeted #KillingTheElite and what a way to start by taking out Cody.
Lance is a beast of a competitor and it makes sense over someone like Matt who needs to be the lead. I’m still not sure Matt will land in AEW, but I think its clear that Lance is coming in to AEW to dominate. Adding Jake as the relatable force will do nothing but strengthen his character.
Who do you think Jake’s client could be and leave your comments below?
