Jake Hager Believes Junior Dos Santos Will Be A Champion In Pro Wrestling

Dan Lambert’s American Top Team has been given a lot of focus in the past few months on AEW television. They were feuding with Chris Jericho and The Inner Circle, which was a highlight of AEW television. America’s Top Team is comprised of popular UFC fighters such as Jorge Masvidal and Junior Dos Santos.

Their feud culminated in The Minneapolis Street Fight at AEW Full Gear which was a 5 vs 5 affair. In the end, it was The Inner Circle who won the match and brought an end to the feud.

While speaking on AEW Unrestricted, Inner Circle member Jake Hager talked about working with Junior Dos Santos. Hager made it clear that he believes Dos Santos will be a champion in pro wrestling eventually.

”It was really cool to be a part of that angle, kind of pulling a rabbit out of our hat each week, testing the limits and seeing what we could do. The Minneapolis Street Fight came together because it’s known in all the streets as the deadliest of street fights, and this was the only place this angle could culminate at. No, it was really cool to be a part of, like Dan Lambert on the mic is absolutely pure magic, so fun to work with. Junior dos Santos, oh man, that guy’s gonna be a pro wrestling champion one day. He like really wants it and really loves the sport, you can tell, and those guys are so eager to learn and like do this stuff.”
