Jake Roberts Thought He Would Fight The Ultimate Warrior At 2014 WWE Hall Of Fame Ceremony
Jake Roberts was prepared to fight Ultimate Warrior at WWE Hall of Fame

Jake 'The Snake' Roberts went to the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony with the intention of fighting The Ultimate Warrior, only to be surprised when the two men reconciled instead.
Speaking about making amends with his former rival during a recent appearance on Rewind Recap Relive, Roberts said:
"Felt really good, man (to bury hatchet with Ultimate Warrior at 2014 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony). Felt really good. I didn't see that coming. I went there with all intentions of having a fight, and I was looking for him at the time. Then he tapped me on my back, I turned around, he started apologising, and he's saying how bad he felt about what he'd done and knew that it cost me millions. Cost me a lot of money, man".
Jake was set to feud with Warrior in 1991, but plans were cancelled when the former WWE Champion was fired by Vince McMahon after SummerSlam.
Warrior shockingly passed away just three days after being inducted into the Hall of Fame, at the age of 54, with Roberts commenting:
"It was just so sad, you know, what happened the next day. Yeah, it was really sad. For his children to be there seeing that, just horrifying… It was bad".
Roberts re-signed with AEW in March.
