WWE Hall of Famer ends six-year run with Tony Khan’s promotion
Summary
– Jake Roberts confirmed he is no longer employed by AEW after six years with the company
– Roberts praised Tony Khan and said he enjoyed his time with the promotion
– Roberts was mainly featured alongside Lance Archer during his AEW run
Jake Roberts has officially closed the book on his AEW run.
The WWE Hall of Famer confirmed during an interview with Bill Apter that AEW no longer employs him. Roberts had been with the company since 2020 and had been connected to Tony Khan’s promotion for six years.
Roberts made it clear that his exit was not bitter. He said he loved his time in AEW and praised Khan, calling him a breath of fresh air.
Roberts was most closely tied to Lance Archer during his AEW run. Their pairing gave Archer a veteran voice and added a darker edge to his television presentations.
As Archer appeared less often on AEW programming, Roberts also faded from regular television. Some fans believed he may have remained involved behind the scenes, especially after word surfaced in 2024 that he had renewed his AEW deal.
That chapter has now ended. Roberts did not reveal exactly when his contract expired or why the partnership finished, but he left no sign of any hard feelings.
Roberts brought decades of wrestling experience to AEW and added another respected legend to the company during its early growth. His time with the promotion is now over, but his comments suggest the split appears peaceful.
