5. Jake "The Snake" Roberts Returns
To close out the show in the final moments of the main event segment, a beaten CM Punk lay in the ring, having taken a beating a the hands of a victorious Roman Reigns from The Shield. While the three Shield members prepped Punk for a group power bomb, some old music hit the PA system, and out came Jake Roberts. Ever the master of in-ring psychology, Roberts hit the scene at just the right time, with mysterious bag in tow. His mere presence startled The Shield, freezing them in their tracks, and allowing for CM Punk and the New Age Outlaws to exact their revenge. Jake hit the ring and unleashed a python onto an unconscious Dean Ambrose, and the show closed with a legend returned and the faces triumphant. Most of you know Jake Roberts has had more bad years than good in his personal life, and some particularly harrowing times as documented in the Beyond The Mat film that the WWE refuses to acknowledge from 1999. Having spent years squandering his earnings away on drugs and losing his family for much of his life, Jake has recently found refuge in old friend Dallas Page. DDP has taken him, and also recently Scott Hall, in and gotten him sober and strong over the past year or so. This was a defining moment for WWE and RAW, and they should be applauded for allowing a man to make amends through a second chance. As early as it is in 2014, this will be one of the best moments of the calendar year.
