Roberts was very well liked by almost everyone backstage and had a great reputation for being friendly and professional.
There have been a lot of reports popping up from fans who were at RAW stating that Justin Roberts was seen yelling at Michael Cole during the Randy Orton vs. Dolph Ziggler match. One fan noted that Roberts flipped off Cole. After RAW concluded, he was informed by Kevin Dunn that he would be released.
