Despite being contracted to AEW since 2020, Jake Roberts has appeared in WWE 2K video games and was recently confirmed for WWE 2K25.

During a recent edition of his The Snake Pit podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer was asked by a fan how the situation was possible, to which Jake replied:

"Well, I'm special. It's a situation where I'm going to work for AEW, and I'd like to keep my legends contract. I told AEW that I was going to try to keep it. They said, 'Fine, do it'. So when I went to WWE, I told them I was going to work for AEW, and they gave me their blessing. Let's face it, they still want to make money off of me".

The 69-year-old re-signed with Tony Khan's promotion for another year last March. He is currently a member of the La Faccion Ingobernable group.

Earlier this year, Roberts spent time in hospital due to a bout of pneumonia, the latest in a string of health issues for the veteran.
