Jake Hager drops the F-bomb on Tony KhanFormer AEW star Jake Hager recently spoke about his frustrations with the Jacksonville-based company's leadership. Hager officially retired from professional wrestling earlier this month after a 19-year career, which included nearly five years in the Tony Khan-led company. Interestingly, Hager left the company in May 2024 without ever capturing a singles championship, opting against re-signing a new deal with the Tony Khan-led promotion.Speaking on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, the erstwhile Jack Swagger brutally criticized Tony Khan, accusing the All Elite Wrestling CEO of mishandling contract negotiations after Hager’s first deal with the company expired.He said:“It was right after the second Blood and Guts in Vegas with Daniel Bryan and Cesaro. My first contract with AEW was up, and after that, the negotiation process was very one-sided. I could tell he didn’t want me there. And I’ll say this every day, and everyone else should, too: 'F**k Tony Khan!"'
