Things are getting messy between Jake Hager, FTR, and Eric Bischoffand its all playing out in public.
Former WWE and AEW star Jake Hager didnt hold back on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, saying he makes it a point to say f** Tony Khan* every day. But that wasnt the only heat he dished out. Hager brought FTRDax Harwood and Cash Wheelerinto the mix, implying they skipped a taping after a backstage meeting following CM Punks AEW departure.
FTR wasnt having it. Cash Wheeler fired back with receipts, posting a screenshot of a private conversation he had with Hager. Wheeler confronted him over the comment, saying it painted him and Harwood in a bad light.
According to Wheeler, Hager responded with an apologybut by then, the damage had been done, and the internet was on fire.
Enter Eric Bischoff. The former WCW boss tore into FTR on his 83 Weeks podcast, mocking their reaction and calling them out for what he sees as emotional weakness.
The beef isnt new. Harwood previously called Bischoff stalkerish on social media for constantly criticizing AEW. He chalked up Bischoffs anti-Khan takes as just part of his online gimmick, saying Bischoff buries AEW for clicks. Now, with Hager lighting the match and Bischoff throwing gasoline, FTR is once again in the crossfire.
The drama might be pettybut in wrestling, perception is everything. And when egos clash on podcasts and timelines, it tends to get personal real quick.
