GIMMICK Jake Smith has gone off the deep end. Once a man who had presumably turned a new leaf, the glories of the success that came from it and his future endeavors, as expected, got into the head of the former Answers World Champion. Letting delusion creep through, it became less of 'The New' Jake Smith and more of 'The Old' Jake Smith. Jake had felt that what he was doing up to that point was a complete facade, to cater to the people and make him look like the model Elitist. But he had come to the astute realization that he was never the model Elitist, not even close, that he had created his own mold, and what came of it was 'The Real' Jake Smith. A man possessed. Someone who only cared about his own success and nothing else, willing to push away any and everything in order to achieve it. Never afraid to go low and hit where it hurts, Jake has gone back to what he knows best, but will that be the recipe for his own failure? That remains to be seen.

MOTIVATIONS
The quest will always be to capture his next World Championship, but also for Jake is a never-ending journey for respect. He feels as though his work has been underappreciated, even after everything that he's done for EAW. He will push his agenda by any means, and show the world that you can do no wrong if you Trust 'The Process'. Success is in his blood, and he doesn't plan to make an exception for that toward anyone.

- Has cowardly heel tendencies on occasion depending on the situation. Most of the time though is a cutthroat ruthless heel.
- Jake Smith kinda has his relationship status figured out.
