WWE Hall of Famer and AEW Star Jake "The Snake" Roberts appeared on the Wrestling Perspective podcast to talk about a variety of topics such as how he knew "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes would lose to "The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 because of how Vince McMahon thinks, but at the end of the day the WWE would eventually give the Undisputed WWE Universal Title to Cody Rhodes.
Jake Roberts said:
“Well, knowing Vince McMahon, I could have told you that’s what would happen. Because everybody just knew Cody [Rhodes] was going to take it [get the victory], and if everybody’s calling for it Vince is going to do quite the opposite, you know? He doesn’t want anyone calling his shit. So, as far as business-wise, it did disappoint a lot of people. I don’t think it hurt Cody. But, I mean, my god, they threw everything but the kitchen sink at him. But, at some point soon, they would give the title to him.”
Jake Roberts also talked about how All Elite Wrestling gave him the opportunity to go to the ring and to do a promo segment with Cody Rhodes and how that meant so much to him.
Jake Roberts said:
“[What] AEW gave me is that when I came back, they let me go out to the ring and do that thing with [promo] Cody. It meant so much to me to go out and feel the ropes again, feel the mat, smell it. It’s just an amazing feeling that I had, and I really appreciate that.”
