Jake Hager has closed the door on pro wrestlingor so it seems.
During a new episode of Rule Breakers with Saraya, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion and AEW star revealed that hes officially retired from the ring. But when the topic of a WWE return came up, he let slip the one condition that could bring him back.
The conversation had already touched on Hagers new business venturea trucking company called Hauling Oats based out of Tampa, Florida. He told Saraya that stepping away from wrestling gave him the chance to start fresh and focus on a new chapter.
Still, Saraya had to ask the question everyone was thinking. In a playful but direct tone, she looked across at Hager and asked if he would ever go back to WWE if they made the call. Hager didnt hesitate at first. He made it sound like the door was closed for good.
But then he smirked, leaned back, and delivered a line that turned the whole vibe around:
Saraya laughed and called him out for the move, saying, You just want to be as valuable as possible. Hager agreed without missing a beat: Exactly.
So while Jake Hager may be out of the game for now, hes not completely unreachable. The money would have to be right, but like most wrestlers, retirement might only be temporary if the offer lands at the right number.
Do you think WWE should pick up the phone and call Jake Hager again? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
