Jake Roberts on Wanting to Wrestle at WrestleMania 32

Here in early 2015, WWE announced that WrestleMania will be coming to Texas in 2016. WrestleMania 32 will be held at the AT&T Stadium, the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas on April 3, 2016. With the event’s location and it having a legitimate chance to break the all-time WWE attendance record, there has already been speculation on major matches for “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and The Undertaker occurring at WrestleMania 32.

In a recent interview with Nerd Repository, WWE Hall of Famer Jake “The Snake” Roberts expressed his desire to wrestle one last match in WWE at WrestleMania 32.

When asked about possibly returning to a WWE ring, Roberts said he hopes to talk to Vince McMahon about wrestling at WrestleMania 32:

“I hope so. I’m going to talk to Vince McMahon [about it] at WrestleMania. I would like my last match, forever, to be at WrestleMania next year in Dallas, Texas. I would love to be on that show. I want to go out and give it my best, and I would be in much better shape than I probably was at the end of my career.”

Regarding potential opponents, Roberts only named Bray Wyatt, but noted he would be an unlikely foe:

“I’d like it to be a situation where it would help him. I can think of a thousand scenarios… ideally, it would be something with Bray Wyatt… [but] he doesn’t need Jake Roberts. So it’s gotta be somebody that’s on the way up, that needs a little extra ‘oomph’ like Steve Austin did. And we’ll see if I can’t help them out.

“Maybe it could be a situation where the winner must use the DDT, and from that point on, they’re the master of the DDT. How about that?”

Editor’s Note

I could definitely see some sort of multi-man WWE Legends match at WrestleMania 32, given the magnitude of the event.
