Del Sol, who has risen as today’s hottest lucha star, will challenge Open The Freedom Gate Champion Johnny Gargano for the title this Sunday night on live iPPV at WWNLive.com from Ybor City, FL. He is also in a big match tomorrow night in Orlando against Anthony Nese and Saturday in Jacksonville vs. upcomer Shane Strickland. We have been assured that should Del Sol win the title, he will be back on the July 27th and July 28th events in New York City to defend the belt. Could we see The Summer Of Del Sol?” - WWE Legend Jake “The Snake” Roberts turns 58 years old today. - WWE’s website has an article up looking at the new Main Event commentary team – Josh Mathews, The Miz and Ricardo Rodriguez. Apparently they are sticking with this team.

In what I can only imagine was an attempt to prove he was still alive (because he sure as Hell isn't relevant), "The Snake" grabbed the microphone Friday night and started singing.  And as you might expect, the result wasn't all that spectacular. I'm not entirely sure why Roberts, who was never really known as a dynamic person, would be any team's choice to take the reigns during the seventh inning stretch, but, maybe, dude won some sort of raffle...and Koko B. Ware wasn't available.  Or maybe...someone at Turner Field lost a bet. And that someone was everyone in attendance. Your browser does not support iframes.

The former WWE star recently started attending acting classes, and he's said to be looking into roles on independent films. There are talks that Roberts has actually been offered small parts already because of his name value.

So I guess we’re going to have to take a victory lap. I’m definitely coming back,” Roberts vowed at the end of the article.Fox Sports’s story also covered Roberts’s association with DDP, who helped Roberts turn his life around in the Accountability Crib.It’s worth noting that Robert’s last appearance as a full time employee with the WWE was at the 1997 Royal Rumble where he entered at no. 7 and was eliminated by Stone Cold Steve Austin.
