The potential battle with cancer is just another bout for Roberts, who has overcome depression among other issues with the help of his friend, Diamond Dallas Page. Page inducted Roberts into the Hall prior to WrestleMania 30.

Roberts made his return to WWE television this past year at “Old School RAW,” leaving his snake on top of the smiling Dean Ambrose. He had pushed to make an appearance in this past year’s Royal Rumble match, though his appearance was scheduled for the “RAW” instead.
