Jake Hager Says His AEW Contract Expired Back in June

In an interview with Stories with Bradshaw and Brisco (via Fightful), Jake Hager revealed that his contract with AEW expired back in June, but he wants to find a way to stay on camera. Hager made headlines last week when he called Tony Khan a “communist” and claimed Khan threatened his job over his political beliefs.

Jake Hager said: “It’s interesting. I’m excited to find out. My contract expired with AEW in June. I just left them. I’m currently working independents. I’m 42 and I think it’s time to, I don’t know, I want to find a way to be home more with my kids. I’m looking into more business opportunities. Construction, rental properties. I’d love to sit down with you, John, and get some pointers about announcing and maybe stay on camera that way. Really, just doing what I can. I’ve had a great career, very blessed to have that career. Now, it’s easier. The pressure is off. Just trying to be a good dad and good example for my kids.”
