Jake Roberts Issues Statement Regarding the Royal Rumble

Jake “The Snake” Roberts has made it known that he wants to be part of the 2014 Royal Rumble match. The 2014 edition of the pay-per-view will take place on Jan. 26 in Pittsburgh, Pa. at the Consol Energy Center. Roberts has been living in Atlanta since 2012 in order to stay clean and get back into shape with help from his close-friend Diamond Dallas Page. During his time with DDP, he made it a goal to compete in the 2014 Royal Rumble match.

Roberts recently issued the following statement regarding a possible return at the Royal Rumble:

“Daily questions on Rumble. Here is my official statement. I have had no contact from WWE. I publicized returning at the Royal Rumble as my goal about a year ago. Looking back, setting goals that are entirely in someone else’s hands was not the best idea. My advice, and my practice now is to set goals that you can control. Do your best to control your destiny. If the Rumble happens, I will do my best to put on a memorable performance. If they want to keep me around, I know I can do some cool stuff. It if doesn’t, I still have plenty to look forward to. That’s all on the Rumble and WWE for a while. Please enjoy the rest of these holidays with your loved ones. Thanks again for all the support. Remember, the Snake ALWAYS bites back.”
