Jake Roberts provides an update.
♛Roberts made headlines back in March of this year when he revealed that he had re-signed with AEW, extending a run that started all the way back in 2020. Throughout that time, Roberts has been a managerial force for both Lance Archer and The Righteous.
, Roberts confirmed that he's still with AEW.
“It’s still going well, I’m still there. We’re just not doing much.”
🌸Roberts was then asked about the atmosphere in the company.
“I love it there. I love Tony Khan, man. Right now, he’s trying to do so much, he’s got a stable of wrestlers like no other.”
♈Justin then asked Roberts if he thinks AEW has used Lance Archer to his full potential.
“Oh god no. No, they haven’t man. He can do so much, he’s probably the best big man in the business.”
൩Roberts was then asked if fans will get to see him back in AEW anytime soon.
“Oh yeah. Yeah."
🌊Justin finished off the topic by asking Roberts about how he's currently feeling from a health standpoint.
“I feel good. I’m having to occasionally go on oxygen. You know, I’m 69 years old. If someone would have told me that I lived to 69, I would’ve laughed at them, because I’ve been pretty rough on myself. Partied hard for about 25 years and I really abused my body, my soul, and my mind. But, I’ve been sober now for twelve years. Nothing, no drugs, no alcohol, and just trying to enjoy life. I’m doing it.”
