Jake Hager Drops F-Bomb on Tony Khan After Power Slap Win

Jake Hager made an immediate impact in his Power Slap debut—but it’s what he did after the win that’s getting the most attention, as he went after Tony Khan.

The former AEW star scored a knockout victory over Devin Jenkins in the third round, showing patience early before landing the shot that ended it. It was a strong first impression in a completely different kind of fight, especially with a six-appearance deal already in place. But the real moment came right after the win.

Instead of keeping it about the knockout, Jake Hager turned his attention straight to his former boss, Tony Khan—and didn’t hold back as he dropped an F-bomb on Khan, saying, “F*** you, Tony Khan!” Just like that, the focus shifted from his debut finish to his ongoing issues with AEW’s president.

This tension has been building for a while. Hager previously created controversy during the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election when he publicly backed Donald Trump and accused Khan of trying to shut him down over it. At the time, he doubled down on his stance with a blunt statement: “Yes i am support Trump . Yes im against killing babies . I guess that makes me a racist.”

He didn’t stop there, going even further with a direct claim about Khan, claiming that Tony Khan is a communist and threatened his job if he didn’t stop promoting Donald Trump at the time.

“Tony khan is someone who threaten my job if i didnt stop promoting my trump. He js a communist”

Those comments led to plenty of backlash, but Hager clearly hasn’t moved on—and now he’s bringing that same energy into his new chapter. Between the knockout and the post-fight outburst, Hager turned what could’ve been a simple debut into something a lot more personal. And with multiple appearances already lined up, this likely won’t be the last time he makes noise—inside or outside the competition.

Do you think Jake Hager should keep things focused on his new run, or was calling out Tony Khan right after the win the right move? Drop your thoughts below.
