Swerve! Jake the Snake Roberts surprise appearance ends Old School Raw

Chris Graham

Remember last week when Jake the Snake Roberts was lamenting on Twitter about how he hadn’t been contacted by WWE about being on the Old School Raw?

Can you say swerve?

Moments after Roman Reigns scored the upset win over CM Punk in the main event, Roberts’ music hit, and Jake the Snake, a bag slung over his shoulder, was on the entrance ramp, to a pop from the live crowd in Baltimore, not to mention Twitter.

As Roberts made his way down the ramp, Punk and the New Age Outlaws made quick post-match work of The Shield, leaving Dean Ambrose in the ring for a GTS from Punk. Laid out, Roberts threw the bag into the ring, climbed in, and emptied the bag of its contents, a new-age Damien, if you will.

What came next was what produced the goosebumps. Roberts introduced Ambrose to Damien, Damien to Ambrose, and Old School Raw came to a close.

Credit to WWE creative for working us all. Nice touch, getting Jake to tweet his dissatisfaction over the weekend.

Note: You almost gave it away with the two DDP appearances earlier in the show.
