Jake 'The Snake' Roberts being on AEW Dynamite gets its own Up. A big surprise that nobody could've seen coming, the perfect way to use an old wrestler in a complimentary spot, and it's just great seeing him on television after everything he's been through.

Granted, this isn't the first time we've seen Roberts since he got clean, but it's always a treat. The man was close to death before turning it around. Now, he's a character on a mainstream pro-wrestling show again - and killing it.

More on his performance in a bit.
