New in Unopened Package AEW Jake Hager Unrivaled Collection Series 6 Action Figure Jazwares #46 Jake Hager, also known for his time in WWE as Jack Swagger, is a professional wrestler and mixed martial artist currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Hager is a former collegiate wrestling standout who made a successful transition to professional wrestling and later to Bellator MMA. In AEW, Hager is a key member of The Inner Circle faction, led by Chris Jericho. Personal Background: Real Name: Donald Jacob Hager Jr. Born: March 24, 1982, in Perry, Oklahoma, USA. Height: 6'7" Weight: Around 275 lbs Background: Hager has an extensive background in amateur wrestling, having been an All-American during his college career at the University of Oklahoma. Wrestling Career: WWE Career (2006–2017): Hager’s wrestling career took off after signing with WWE in 2006, where he performed under the ring name Jack Swagger. His time in WWE saw him achieve notable success, including winning major championships and being involved in high-profile storylines. Debut and ECW Championship: Hager made his WWE television debut on the ECW brand in 2008, quickly rising through the ranks and capturing the ECW Championship in early 2009. His amateur wrestling background made him a natural fit for the “All-American American” persona, which emphasized his skills as a legitimate grappler. World Heavyweight Champion: In 2010, Hager reached the pinnacle of his WWE career when he won the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 26. He successfully cashed in the briefcase on Chris Jericho to become the World Heavyweight Champion on SmackDown. His title reign lasted for several months, and although he didn’t reach the same heights in WWE afterward, he remained a steady presence in the mid-card and tag team divisions. Other Accomplishments in WWE: United States Champion: Hager captured the United States Championship in 2011, adding another title to his resume. "We The People" Gimmick: Later in his WWE career, Hager adopted the “We the People” persona, where he was paired with manager Zeb Colter. The duo played on nationalistic themes, portraying Swagger as a patriot fighting against foreign influence, which became a popular (though controversial) angle. He remained with WWE until 2017, after which he transitioned to the independent wrestling scene and ventured into mixed martial arts. Bellator MMA (2017–Present): Following his departure from WWE, Hager shifted his focus to mixed martial arts, signing with Bellator MMA in 2017 as a heavyweight fighter. Bellator Record: As of 2023, Hager has an undefeated MMA record, primarily competing in heavyweight bouts. His strong wrestling background has been a key component of his success in the cage, where he’s won several fights by submission. Despite his commitments to pro wrestling, Hager remains an active competitor in MMA and continues to balance both careers. All Elite Wrestling (AEW) (2019–Present): In 2019, Jake Hager made his debut in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), aligning himself with Chris Jericho as part of The Inner Circle. The Inner Circle: Hager’s role in The Inner Circle has been that of a silent enforcer, using his size, strength, and MMA background to help Jericho and the group in their battles against top AEW stars. His presence adds legitimacy and a sense of danger to the faction. He’s been involved in various high-profile feuds and matches, including AEW’s Stadium Stampede and Blood and Guts matches, where his toughness and physicality have shone. In-Ring Style: Hager’s wrestling style is rooted in his amateur wrestling background, featuring lots of suplexes, grappling holds, and power moves. In AEW, he has also incorporated elements of his MMA training, such as strikes and submission maneuvers. He typically employs the Hager Bomb (a variation of a corner slingshot splash) and the Ankle Lock submission as his finishing moves, the latter a nod to his amateur wrestling skills and one of his signature holds in WWE.
