Jake Roberts appears on AEW Dynamite, touts new client

Jake “The Snake” Roberts made his AEW debut tonight, teasing a new client.

Cody Rhodes came out during tonight’s Dynamite to talk about his loss to MJF from this past weekend’s Revolution event. He asked MJF to come out and tell him to his face that he won fair and square.

Roberts came out instead, saying he was tired of hearing Cody cry. He wasn’t there to praise him, he was there to slay him. He said that he had a client, and that “the dark side” is coming to AEW. 

He finished the promo by saying someone wise once told him to never turn his back on a man he was afraid of. He then did just that, turning away from Cody as he made his exit..

Roberts hasn’t been featured in any major wrestling promotion in a number of years. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014 and also made an appearance for the promotion earlier that year.
