Freestyle wrestler Gable Steveson recently claimed he could defeat AEW star and MMA fighter Jake Hager in 5 seconds.
It all began when Hager tweeted that he'll bet $20,000 against Steveson being unable to take him down. The Olympian quickly responded to the AEW star's tweet, claiming that Hager would lose his $20,000 in just 5 seconds after getting into the ring with him.
If this wasn't enough, Jake Hager went one step ahead and asked Gable Steveson in which city he would like to see a match between them go down. Interestingly, the three cities Hager mentioned were Houston, New York, and Chicago, all of which will host AEW shows in the coming weeks.
