AEW News: Update on Jake Hager’s AEW Status, Marina Shafir Backstage at Recent Shows

– A new report has a minor update on Jake Hager’s AEW status after a report that his contract expired last week. As reported, late last week, Hager’s contract reportedly expired and he did not re-sign in what was said to be a mutual decision. Fightful Select reports that Hager has not yet responded to requests for comment about his status, but that AEW sources said there is not a plan to use him.

Hager retired from MMA last year, but Fightful Select reports that there is at least one promotion interested in him.

– The report also notes that Marina Shafir, who is set to compete on ROH TV this week, has been backstage at recent AEW shows.
