Jake Hager clearly isn’t done taking shots at Tony Khan, as he ended up going after the AEW President again during a meet-and-greet.
A fan uploaded a video to Instagram showing himself meeting Hager during a meet-and-greet at UFC 250 Fan Fest. The fan brought a photo of Hager from Power Slap and asked if Hager would sign it with a message aimed at his former AEW boss: “Would you be able to do an autograph that says ‘F*** Tony Khan’ on it for me?” Hager had no issue with the request and immediately agreed: “I would absolutely love to.”
Instead of writing exactly what the fan asked for, Hager took it a step further and added his own message on the photo, as he told Tony Khan to shut up: “I just wrote, ‘Tony shut the s***up.’ Is that alright? Thank you, man.”
This comes after Hager made his Power Slap debut back in April and scored a knockout win over Devin Jenkins in the third round. Right after the victory, Hager grabbed attention by yelling: “F*** you, Tony Khan!”
Hager’s issues with Khan go back to his AEW exit and his public political comments during the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. He previously accused Khan of threatening his job over his support for Donald Trump and even called the AEW president a communist.
Now, Hager is carrying that same energy into fan appearances. What started as a post-fight outburst has turned into something he is willing to sign for fans, making it pretty clear he has no interest in cooling things down.
