The veteran in question, Sam Houston, is the half-brother of the legendary Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. As expected, Sam is also very talented in the ring and can get fans invested in his matches. He is currently semi-retired and wrestles only occasionally in the Independent circuit.
According to Sam, most people were unaware that he was Jake Roberts' relative during his time in WWE. Speaking on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, he explained:
"Nobody knew. That was still kayfabe. Only people that knew was from down and mid-south area, we were brothers. There weren't very many folks at all who knew. Andre knew. I have known him since I was 10 years old. Andre knew, (Hacksaw Jim) Duggan knew. There were a few people that knew, but for the most part, no, nobody knew." [34:14 onward]

Shubhajit is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on WWE news. He has a Master's degree in English and has been working in his current role for over 2 years.
A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
